18

(álbum: Columbo - 2023)

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 screaming
Don't take it for granted
'Cause you taught me life goes away

So get busy living or get busy dying
I'd say I forgive you, but then I would be lying
It's been 16 years and your mother's still crying
Don't you feel guilty?
I'm just saying it how it is

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 18
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever be

Your poor little brother, you put him through it
Only 13 when he 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

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 18
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever be

You were only 18
But it's hard to let go of ancient history
Now I'm twice the age you'll ever be
