Can You Remember?

I see a girl who will always be
 Everything I will ever need
 I wrote this in hopes to change you
 But then again, what was I thinking?
 What did you think I would really do?
 After all, all I need is you
 What did you think I would really do?
 Stand my ground and leave myself
 Can you remember when
 We made this permanent?
 It's not the years of your life that count
 It's the life in your years
 That makes all the difference
 We've grown much older now
 Let's turn this time around
 It's not the years of your life that count
 It's the life in your years
 That makes all the difference
 It makes all the difference
 This girl, she is simply amazing
 She's everything I could ever dream
 And I thought that I could change her
 But then again, what was I thinking?
 What did you think I would really do?
 After all, all I need is you
 What did you think I would really do?
 Stand my ground and leave myself alone
 Can you remember when
 We made this permanent?
 It's not the years of your life that count
 It's the life in your years
 That makes all the difference
 We've grown much older now
 Let's turn this time around
 It's not the years of your life that count
 It's the life in your years
 That makes all the difference
 Let's abandon everything
 (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
 Make this dream a reality
 (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
 Just pack up and move away
 (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
 Start a life and we'll change our names
 (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh)
 Can you remember when
 We made this permanent?
 It's not the years of your life that count
 It's the life in your years
 That makes all the difference
 We've grown much older now
 Let's turn this time around
 It's not the years of your life that count
 It's the life in your years
 That makes all the difference
