I see a girl who will always be
Everything I will ever need
I wrote this in hopes to change you
But then again, what was I thinking?
What did you think I would really do?
After all, all I need is you
What did you think I would really do?
Stand my ground and leave myself
Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
It makes all the difference
This girl, she is simply amazing
She's everything I could ever dream
And I thought that I could change her
But then again, what was I thinking?
What did you think I would really do?
After all, all I need is you
What did you think I would really do?
Stand my ground and leave myself alone
Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
Let's abandon everything
(Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
Make this dream a reality
(Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
Just pack up and move away
(Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
Start a life and we'll change our names
(Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
