the most as you’ll ever go
is back where you used to know
if grown-ups could laugh this slow
where as you watch the hour snow
years may go by

so hold on to your special friend
here, you’ll need something to keep her in
won’t you stay inside this foolish grin
cause any day your secrets end
then again
years may go by

you saved your own special friend
cause here you need something to hide her in
and you stay inside that foolish grin
when everyday now secrets end
oh and then again
years may go by

the most as you’ll ever go
is back where you used to know
if grown-ups could laugh this slow
where as you watch the hour snow
years may go by
years may go by

so hold on to your special friend
here, you’ll need something to keep her in
won’t you stay inside the foolish grin
cause any day your secrets end
then again
years may go by
years may go by
