I used to think Stop thinking of you About what's real and true What can not be proven What can be assumed Once when I was younger In the bloom of youth I received an honest answer

Every day I'll wait Every day, every day I'll wait Woke up home half drunk Got a feeling we ain't done No one's gonna know you better 'Cause I was your first one Back when we were so young I know we still wake up together Yeah, I'll stay
