"Promise Me"

We're getting old, now
But I don't feel it
I say you're beautiful
And I still mean it
And I don't wanna know
What old age feels like
So promise me you won't
Give up on this life

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
And we'll be busy tryin'
While the rest of them are dyin'

[Chorus 1:]
Promise me we'll never grow up
I don't wanna let go
I wanna stay young
And even when the wrinkles show up
We'll be laughing, and
We can play forever, don't make me face the truth

I think it's obvious
That we'll stay happy
'Cause I'm the happiest
When you smile at me
And we won't end the same
A broken family
I'll never walk away
Without you with me

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
And times are getting harder
But I'm nothing like my father

[Chorus 2:]
Promise me we'll never grow up
I don't wanna fall out
I wanna make love
And even when we can't sew up
We're together, and
Happy ever after, don't make me face the truth

[Bridge:]
That I'm dying soon
That we're dying...
Don't say goodbye!

We're so much older...
(When did we get so old, so old, so old?)
All I want is one more life with you!

When did we get so old?
Why did you get so sick?
And how could you die?

[Chorus 3:]
You promised me you'd never grow up
Now I have to let go
God, I miss you so much!
And even when your heart gave out
I was thinkin' how
I won't say goodbye!

You promised me you'd never grow up
But you fucking grew up
God, I miss you so much!
And even when your heart gave out
I was thinkin' I'd
Love you till forever, and I can't face the truth

[Outro:]
That I died with you
That you lied...
(That you died...)

That you died...
