When I was 5 years old I couldn´t imagine being 12 When I was in high school
40 meant that you were dead Maybe everybody feels this way when they start getting older But I love you so much I´m scared you won´t always be here
What if you get sick and you leave me when you´re 38 What if I get reckless driving on the interstate Ooh, forever doesn´t quite seem long enough I wish I had known you when we were in second grade Draw you stupid pictures, eat lunch with you every day Ooh, forever doesn´t quite seem long enough
The first week that I met you I saw the sunrise every night
I think I knew it then I always want to be by your side Now every time I leave Doesn´t matter where I´m going it doesn´t feel like I need to go when I could be with you at home
What if you get sick and you leave me when you´re 38 What if I get reckless driving on the interstate Ooh, forever doesn´t quite seem long enough I wish I had known you when we were in second grade I´d have drawn you pictures, eat lunch with you every day Ooh, forever doesn´t quite seem long enough
Life´s a short bittersweet mystery
And love is such a precious fragile thing
So what if you get sick and you leave me when you´re 38 What if I get reckless driving on the interstate Ooh, forever doesn´t quite seem long enough I wish I had known you when we were in second grade I´d have drawn you pictures, eat lunch with you every day Ooh, forever doesn´t quite seem long enough
