One More Year
Growing up into a fine young man entails
to clean up our act and start to pay more
attention to the things that I swore I'd never get myself into
Without a doubt, once singled out Until I met you
Eyes closed, it was 2009, and
I finally got the nerve before we said g
oodbyes to tell you
"This is my last chance, I won't let it pass me,
I think I'm in love, so please don't leave without me"
Now four years down on the road,
I gained some wimpy little facial hairs,
but still in the same boat
With downtown's and the radio high,
living on an infinite life
Long conversations at the lighthouse on Hefner,
trying to figure out what life's got planned
Then I'd write on your back in our backseat bedroom,
"You plus me 'till the end"
So let's get up, get gone, prove them all wrong
Until the fear in your hands meet the wings that you'll grow
When the day comes that 18 hits, keep your heart in the clouds, let your feet do the rest
And when we grow up, get lost, in the cities so cold,
we'll stand up tall and then we'll find our way back home
Because my home is that of a long list when I've got you girl
Remember this
You say I'm a dreamer and need to see clearer,
but purchase a mirror, you're just like me
So with full hearts and heads high,
we'll lock hands and we'll fly away
In your ear I will say,
"It takes life to love life, to fall down and still try
So get on your high horse and don't be scared
Your place in this world compares to no other,
your end undiscovered
So let's get out of here"
Get up, get gone, prove them all wrong These streets have been our home for too long
