No need to act surprised when I say
that I'm aware of how you wonder
everyday of what it is that makes you want to go away when there really is no reason for you not to stay.

See, I know that there are things in your past
that you have to deal with
and I know you thought these wounds, they would heal with time, but it turns out
they're much harder than you thought that they would be. And you feel it, oh, so deep every time you look at me.

But if you stay by my side,
then one day when we've grown older,
you'll look at me and smile and you'll say

"Do you remember back when we were 26?
I used to feel like I was so much older.
Do you remember how I used to reminisce
and look back on what I should have done?
Isn't that absurd?"

(Aaaa) oooh o-o-ooouuu hooo ho-ooo heee-e-eee.

So, I'm asking you to reconsider,
think of all the good times that we have had.
Open up your heart and all the pain pours out.
And when you're through with tears,
I will still be here.
And if you stay by my side,
then one day when we've grown older,
you'll look at me and smile and you'll say

"Do you remember back when we were 26?
I used to feel like I was so much older.
Do you remember how I used to reminisce
and look back on what I should have done?
Isn’t that absurd?

And now that I'm older
I feel much younger than back then
mmm, and somehow It seems my soul's at ease.
I knows that there's still a day to seize
a day to seize."

Hoo hoo hoo hooo hoo hee hee heee-eeee.
