We were just five and playing poker When your mom came bursting down Yeah we were just five and going nowhere 'Cause we didn't know where to begin
You showed me my life You showed me a place This empty space Yeah you had a style, we all adored it For the way you made it seem
So easygoing, yet so flawless You were really stuck in between I dream of a hero saving the earth I dream of a mother giving birth
Why would you choose if you have so much time left There's no reason you can do it all Just buckle up, don't look behind And you'll be fine
Don't let me interrupt you I'm just making sure you feel alright Don't let anybody love you 'Cause you're better off being a child
You showed me my life You showed me a place This empty space
Why would you choose if you have so much time left There's no reason you can do it all Just buckle up, don't look behind And you'll be fine

So why would you choose if you have so much time left There's no reason you can do it all Just buckle up, don't look behind And you'll be fine
Why would you choose if you have so much time left Close my eyes, I improvise
