I was young

He was old

We both were the same age

Every day

Playing fetch

Shaking hands, he'd lick my face



And I was unaware

the day would come

And when he died

for the first time I knew

What real pain was



And I never was the same again

From that moment on real life began



Senior high

Girlfriends

Football games, graduation

Summer break

Spend my time

Filling out applications



A few superficial years went by

they were all a blur

And in the most unlikely situation

there you were

Yeah

And I never was the same again

From that moment on real life began

with you

with you



By your side

Scared to death

Felt the pain

you were fighting

placed my palm on your head

spoke your name
