Well i wrote your name and burned it
See the colour of the flame
and it burned out the whole spectrum
as if you were everything
mine just burned gold
a normal flame, i am not anything

and all that i remember
is the feeling of waking up
when we were kids you were the sun
to which my eyes would not adjust
when we were kids i was a fountain
you could never drink enough

then came all the boys that swept you up
and played careless with you heart
and every night there was a new girl
sitting beside me in my car

something dies when you grow older
but you do the best you can

i am glad you found a good man
