I'm thinking of when I first touched you Your skin was electric Now I'm far too wise to dwell on such things And far too sentimental to forget them I read somewhere memories are stories you write for yourself To explain who you are, and how you got there And to blame it on somebody else Now the gifts are open The toys are broken The speeches are all spoken And the dishes cleared away The stream keeps flowing My doubts are growing Cause I've got no way of knowing if it'll be damned or reach the sea For you and me I met a man twice my age Half joking, he said I should warn you. You're a fish on the line, and the lines pulling in, and there's a frying pan coming to warm you And while I smiled, it occurred to me I'm just gristle and blood And I've spent half my life with the sun in my eyes Chasing rainbows through the mud Now the gifts are open The toys are broken The speeches are all spoken And the dishes cleared away The stream keeps flowing My doubts are growing Cause I've got no way of knowing if it'll be damned or reach the sea For you and me When I was a child in a little kid's world My heart was the same as the one I have now But it amazes me how much everything else has changed
