I was 18 and so were you I was that birkenstock geek rock dude You were the back flip, doe-eyed, Tree-climbing, earth-mama, beautiful evergreen girl And I never thought that I could be Gettin' my grey hair with you beside me And there's something I'm blind to but you still see And it couldn't be better, I know It shouldn't be easier to hold I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall I wanna be the toy in your cereal box I wanna be Charter in your peace talks I wanna get almost too familiar But still notice the way that you walk If you said you were going away I'd run on the tarmac And I would lay down in front of the plane Just to get you to stay 'cause it couldn't be better, I know It shouldn't be easier to hold I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall Got everything I'd ever wanted here Everything, then this constant fear I'm sure I'm gonna lose it all Just waiting for the other boot to fall If you thought I could be replaced I wouldn't just stop w/ an ear I would cut off my whole f**in' face Just to make my point clear That it couldn't be better, I know It shouldn't be easier to hold I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall I'm waiting for the other boot to fall
