Lyrics

[Verse 1] I fall in love about once a season Follow my heart, which I wear on my sleeve and I drive too fast 'til the sirens come screamin', "Don't take it for granted" 'Cause you taught me life goes away [Verse 2] So get busy living or get busy dyin' I'd say I forgive you, but then I would be lyin' It's been sixteen years and your mother's still cryin' Don't you feel guilty? I'm just saying it how it is [Chorus] God only knows what we lost that day in the snow Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show But you were only eighteen Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see 'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever bе [Verse 3] And your poor little brother, you put him through it Only thirteen when hе watched you do it And it makes me so mad to think, you probably knew it I hope you both know that little boy still found his way [Chorus] God only knows what we lost that day in the snow Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show But you were only eighteen Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see 'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever be [Outro] You were only eighteen But it's hard to let go of ancient history Now I'm twice the age you'll ever be
