I think about you all the time
Wonder if when you think of me you smile
Because from the moment we met we were out of our heads
I know
So the story goes
Man and a woman linger alone
Thinking that you’re all that
Unaware of this life that we’re living
Thinking that you’re all that
On with this life that we’re living
Tell me, do you know?
When I’m looking out, rip through soul
Looking out, rip through soul
Sit back and let the days unwind
Somewhere between now and 1999
And back in that time I was only a boy
Soon a man don’t you think?
Now it’s gone
So the story goes
Makes you want to lay down
With the one that you love
Thinking that you’re all that
Unaware of this life that we’re
Thinking that you’re all that
Unaware of
(All that)
(Unaware)
(That’s you’ll)
