Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather
[Verse 2]
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
Mmm, you gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
[Verse 3]
You wrote our names down on the sidewalk
But the rain came and washed them off
So we should write 'em again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairy tale
With now sunset into which we sail
[Verse 6]
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
