A Clear Mind, A Better Time

I was just thinking that while we’re still young We should go and get married and live in the sun And keep our parents waiting and waiting for us to come home I’ll make us coffee to keep us awake And play you old love songs lost in the hay And you’ll never, never, never have to be alone We could lie And waste your time I’d make you feel better Remember the classrooms, the whitewash the slacks The ceilings that crumbled from flawless to cracked The children sat quietly learning just how to grow old Our friends were all brutal, our teachers were brash But the shit we had to deal with in high school is passed And as long as you’ll feel it with me then I’ll feel it with you And if you can’t heal, had the last one steal Then I’ll show you love How we used to feel We felt so much better You’ll get tattoos of my name on your chest Cause the things we know now are the things we’ll forget And some day you’ll wish that you never made commitments like that And when I grow old and start losing my mind And tears they fall heavy and hot from your eyes Just remember the day that I let myself open to you Just remember the day that I let myself open to you
