Can You Remember?

I see a girl who will always be
Everything I will ever need
I wrote this in hopes to change you
But then again, what was I thinking?

What did you think I would really do?
After all, all I need is you
What did you think I would really do?
Stand my ground and leave myself

Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
It makes all the difference

This girl, she is simply amazing
She's everything I could ever dream
And I thought that I could change her
But then again, what was I thinking?

What did you think I would really do?
After all, all I need is you
What did you think I would really do?
Stand my ground and leave myself alone

Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference

Let's abandon everything
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Make this dream a reality
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Just pack up and move away
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Start a life and we'll change our names
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)

Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
