Mm, mm How many lessons must one person learn? How many reasons nobody knows? If you're thinking of leaving, I left your keys there behind The ups and downs The all-arounds The dollar times Tears water down the hours and clear out the gold Bad days aside, I'd like to see us growin' old I've realized in life, it's all just the same 'Cause everything comes to go away Trials and tribulations are messing with me So I have to keep walking on the other side of your street Would you say hello if I just wait? Or is there nothing more to say? Tears water down the hours and clear out the gold Bad days aside, I'd like to see us growin' old I've realized in life, it's all just the same 'Cause everything comes to go away You're changing with the seasons, you're walking on the snow Oh my love, I lift my winter coat Your hands held up high, you drop them down low Hypnotized and paralyzed by every word you spoke Tears water down the hours and clear out the gold Bad days aside, I'd like to see us growin' old I've realized in life, it's all just the same 'Cause everything comes to go away 'Cause everything comes to go away Everything comes to go away
