I fall in love about once a season
Follow my heart, which I wear on my sleeve and
I drive too fast 'til the sirens come screamin'
"Don't take it for granted"
'Cause you taught me life goes away

So get busy living or get busy dyin'
I'd say I forgive you, but then I would be lyin'
It's been sixteen years and your mother's still cryin'
Don't you feel guilty? I'm just saying it how it is

God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
But you were only eighteen
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever bе

And your poor little brother, you put him through it
Only thirteen when hе watched you do it
And it makes me so mad to think, you probably knew it
I hope you both know that little boy still found his way

God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
But you were only eighteen
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever be

You were only eighteen
But it's hard to let go of ancient history
Now I'm twice the age you'll ever be
