[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
