lyrics

Well there's a first time for everything
but you just get one
But you know that don't you
The things we've done

Remember thawing trepidation
when it grew like a rose
And we watched the milestones
fall like dominoes

We took ourselves on baby steps
to the east end from the west
We were dumb just idiots
trying to get a grip on the present tense
It was real good

But do you ever think about it at all
and does it ever even cross your mind
It's funny how a couple trips around the sun can feel like a lifetime

I never gave much of a thought
to chance before
I walked the length of it
to your door

But that street you drew with such finesse
I find I cross it less and less
They can take this city out of you
but you'll still haunt this neighbourhood
And you always will

I bet

You're still the same even though
that was all so long ago
I'll never change I'll never try
cross my heart and hope to die
While you're out there cutting round
I can't seem to keep from falling down
Lately I just out of spite
Been finding ways of staying upright

But do you ever think about it at all
and does it ever even cross your mind
It's funny how a couple trips around the sun can feel like a lifetime
And do you ever think about it at all
and does it ever even cross your mind
You're on the other side of the world and I'm out of my mind
