VERSE 1:
You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather
CHORUS:
You want everything to be just like
The stories that you read but never write
You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
RIFF:
BREAK 1:
VERSE 2:
You wrote our names down on the sidewalk
The rain came and washed them off
So we should write'em again on the wet cement
So people a long time from now they'll know what we meant
CHORUS:
You want every morning to be just like
The stories that you read but never write
You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
I'm only concerned
RIFF
BREAK 1
VERSE 3: (Only Brendan)
I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairytale
Another sunset into which we sail
CHORUS:
You want every morning to be just like
The stories that you read, but you can't write
You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather
CHORUS:
You want everything to be just like
The stories that you read but never write
You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
