She says she's looking old, I sigh my coffee's cold
She leaves for work with no good-bye
It's like this every day, it's a little game we play
Trying not to notice something's died
When We Were 21
Two wild hearts on the run
She made me feel so alive
Three kids and 12 twelve years on
We're here but something's gone
We used to live now we survive
She lays there with her book
I sneak in for a look
The lamp light plays upon her skin
"Love, you look good tonight"
She says, "No, I hope that's all right.I'm tired I think that I'll just turn in"
(Chorus)
I feel like giving up
