You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather

You want everything to be just like (2x)
The stories that you read but never write (2x)
You've gotta learn to live
And live and learn
You've gotta learn to give
And wait your turn
Or you'll get burned

You wrote our names down on the sidewalk
The rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on the wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant

You want every morning to be just like (2x)
The stories that you read but you never write (2x)
You've gotta learn to live
And live and learn
You've gotta learn to give
And wait your turn
I'm only concerned

I'm a adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairytale
We'll know sunset into which we sail

You want everything to be just like (2x)
The story's that you read but you can't write
(you can't write)
You've gotta learn to live
And live and learn
Oh, you've gotta learn to give
And wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
