Lyrics
When We're Older
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If the storm comes, if we burn up
If the wells run dry
You're my reason to believe in
Another life
If it all ends, and it's over
If the sky falls fire
Best believe me, you will see me
On the other side
And if the earth shakes
Like the big 'quake
And our lives flash by
You're the first thing
I'll be seeking
With these arms of mine
And when we're older
And we're ready
To leave Earth behind
Here's to hopin'
It's exactly
At the same damn time
