Lyrics On And On - Michael Franti, Spearhead

On And On

Just a little more time for you
Just a little more time for me
Just a little more time that we could be together
We go on and on, and on and on
We leave it behind but we’re still moving on and on
I remember when we use to play hopscotch out on the sidewalk
I would draw your picture there with my white chalk
Every day we’d ride bikes home through the schoolyard
We would eat, sleep, work just so we could play hard
Tired of calling mom saying «please come get me»
Traded in my bike for a beat up Chevy
Pops was home drinkin'
I was home dreamin'
And the years fly by like, boom!
We go on and on, and on and on
We leave it behind but we’re still moving on
Ain’t life like that
It just goes on and on, and on and on
We go on and on, and on and on
We leave it behind but we’re still moving on
Ain’t life like that, it just goes on
I remember rolling in my ride to the White Stripes concert
Climbing in the back seat
Rolling up your short skirt
Steamed up windows
Then we graduated
Said good-bye to the town that we hated
Life gets harder every single day
And when you fall down, that’s the rent that you pay
We used to say forever
Now we say remember
Look at all the bad and good we’ve seen together
I’m sorry that I lost you
Happy that I had you
My heart still beats like, boom!
Just a little more time for you
Just a little more time for me
Just a little more time that we could together
It’s simple like that
Simple as this, boom!
Just a little more time for you
Just a little more time for me
Just a little more time that we could together
Life goes on
