| I had my eye on the prize while you had yours on the door.
|
| Why did we ever assume that you’d want anything more?
|
| 'Cause you still can’t work it out amongst yourselves.
|
| No, you still can’t work it out.
|
| So to my own, I will say to keep your head in the sky.
|
| Don’t let the little disasters keep you from your life.
|
| 'Cause your heart is bound to break once or twice.
|
| Yeah, your heart is bound to break once or twice.
|
| And I realize,
|
| I said, I realize that you won’t always be my little girl
|
| Because time moves slow until you grow old
|
| And the world will always turn in spite of you,
|
| And the laws of love reside inside of you.
|
| I was romantic, as wide-eyed as you,
|
| But now I’m afraid that it’s love I outgrew
|
| 'Cause I still can’t work it out for myself.
|
| Can you help me work it out?
|
| And I realize,
|
| I said, I realize that you won’t always be my little girl
|
| Because time moves slow until you grow old
|
| And the world will always turn in spite of you,
|
| And the laws of love reside inside of you. |
