[Intro]
I know everyone you know
You know everyone I know
Our Venn diagrams are one circle
You grow up when I'm not looking
We grow apart without knowing
And all of a sudden I'm leaving
[Chorus]
So I say I'm sorry I can't—I've got plans
As I watch the time slip through my hands
What you don't know now one day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cause even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cause even by yourself
My love, you are something else
One summer turns into ten summers
One lover turns into ten others
But this memory is still with me
So close, bring me in so close
Your clothes, underneath my clothes
Once upon a time in Portugal
[Chorus]
So I say I'm sorry I can't—I've got plans
As I watch the time slip through my hands
What you don't know now one day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cause even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cause even by yourself
My love, you are something else
No matter what you want
Somebody else wants it just as bad
No matter what you got
Somebody else has got it worse
No matter when I got to you
Somebody else got to you first
[Chorus]
So I say I'm sorry I can't—I've got plans
As I watch the time slip through my hands
What you don't know now one day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cause even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cause even by yourself
My love, you are something else
[Intro in background]
Take me with you
Cause even on your own
You are not alone (oh no)
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cause even by yourself
You can carry with you anyone else
