Tea with milk in summer sun
Write my legacy in song
We'd be happy as the day is long
In a life we'll never know
Donned in white and gasping cheers
It might cost my name and your mother's tears
Families brought together that year
In a life we'll never know
Your name in lights and mine in print
I hope that you can get the hint
Life's a race but not a sprint
In a world I wish I'd known
Baby's cries and sleepless nights
We can get fat and down the wine
The bones will ache and the hair goes grey
In a life we'll never know
Pub brawls and office stalls
Caffeine to numb the boredom
My boss'll suck, you won't give a f*ck
And tell me to ignore him
But ending the day in your arms that way
I know I'll change the world
It's chasing dreams and flying machines
In a life where I'm your girl
And when the voices come and I succumb
To a world that's far darker
You'd be my home
I wouldn't be alone
You'd always bring the laughter
But if time is a flower and this life is but a bud
There infinite more petals that grow and live and love
So maybe though I won't see it
I can rest and I can go
Knowing another version of me
Lives this life I'll never know
