That you're doing alright
You know time, it flies
You wake up on the lawn
And the light in your bedroom is on
And she cries in her sleep
You can see for yourself
That even the books you don't read on the shelf
They can tell that you're hurt
You don't know how lucky we are
To feel anything real, anymore
And our fathers and mothers don't know who we are
But they fell in love just like us
They fell in love just like us
From across the room
The patterns we see
In a faded history
In a frame on the wall
The edges are torn
And smiles have worn
From the sun shining down
Since nineteen seventy-nine
With the end not in sight
They put up a fight
Ain't it strange how much you look like your father
When he was your age
You don't know how lucky we are
To feel anything real anymore
And our fathers and mothers don't know who we are
But they fell in love just like us
They fell in love just like us
From across the room
You laid there in blue
Just like you said you wanted to
And that dress always looked so nice on you
While I move through the crowd
And my feet feel the sound
Of the pain and the loss
When it's real
When you went in the ground
And I turned around
My eyes finally found your beauty
You don't know how lucky we are
To feel anything real anymore
And our fathers and mothers don't know who we are
But they fell in love just like us
They fell in love just like us
From across the room
