And in a moment it all came to this
The time it took for your muscles to grow and grip
Of all the things I've heard

Why'd it have to be these words?

And in a second I'll be gone and you won't have to think

I got enough to keep me going, keep me from the brink
As your bones grew
Why did you become you?

Become you?

Oh, I've told you, oh, to be older

You know I'm right
I'm right


You know these moments, they take years to pass
You gotta be coping, gotta be hoping the hands fly by fast
You call this true

Why did you become you?
Become you?


See the sun rise now, this has to end
Don't let it be the one to walk us home again
And you know you haven't got all the answers

If you did you would be screaming them out
And I know I haven't got all the answers,
If I did I would be screaming them out, screaming them out


And in a moment it all came to this
The greatest book you ever read came from my favorites list

Of all the things to lose,
it's you I choose.


Oh, I told you, oh, to be older,
You know I'm right
I'm right


Keep breathing, keep breathing
