I fall in love ′bout once a season

Follow my heart, which I wear on my sleeve, and

I drive too fast 'til the sirens come screamingDon′t take it for granted

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
