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