One More Year
Growing up into a fine young man entails to clean up our act and start to pay more attention to the things that I swore I’d never get myself into Without a doubt, once singled out Until I met you
Eyes closed, it was 2009, and I finally got the nerve before we said goodbyes to tell you “This is my last chance, I won’t let it pass me, I think I’m in love, so please don’t leave without me” Now four years down on the road, I gained some wimpy little facial hairs, but still in the same boat With downtown’s and the radio high, living on an infinite life
Long conversations at the lighthouse on Hefner, trying to figure out what life’s got planned Then I’d write on your back in our backseat bedroom, “You plus me ‘till the end”
So let’s get up, get gone, prove them all wrong Until the fear in your hands meet the wings that you’ll grow When the day comes that 18 hits, keep your heart in the clouds, let your feet do the rest And when we grow up, get lost, in the cities so cold, we’ll stand up tall and then we’ll find our way back home Because my home is that of a long list when I’ve got you girl Remember this
You say I’m a dreamer and need to see clearer, but purchase a mirror, you’re just like me So with full hearts and heads high, we’ll lock hands and we’ll fly away In your ear I will say, “It takes life to love life, to fall down and still try So get on your high horse and don’t be scared Your place in this world compares to no other, your end undiscovered So let’s get out of here”
Get up, get gone, prove them all wrong These streets have been our home for too long
