lyrics

After all these years
You still like talking to me
And after all those words
There’s so many stories left to tell
After all this time
You’re the reason that I close my eyes
And dream away….

Our clothes have changed
I don’t think that we were so wild
What we lacked in class
We made it up in style
We would burn all night
We had the world in the palm of our hand
They didn’t understand….

After all these years, are we still the “one”
When half our plans remain undone
Don’t you look me in the eye
‘Cause I don’t wanna lie
To myself no more

Those were our moments
Our best days lay ahead of us
We’d hang chance on a string
And wait to see what we would catch
It wasn’t that long ago
But I remember it like yesterday
So far away….

After all these years, are we still the “one”
When half our plans remain undone
Don’t you look me in the eye
‘Cause I don’t wanna lie
To myself no more

It’s a matter of time it’s a matter of place
To sort it all out and get back in the race
At the end of the day they can’t take away
All that’s worth living for

Time has a funny way
Of creeping up on you
That face in the mirror
Is a little different from the boy I once knew
After all these years
These ol’ bones still get me out of this bed
I’d rather stay here with you instead….
