Intro

Verse

You and me forever

We belong together

And we'll always endeavor

Throughout any type of weather

Chorus

You want everything to be just like

The stories that you read but never write

You've got to learn to live, and live and learn

You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn

Or you'll get burned

Bridge

Verse

You wrote our names down on the sidewalk

The rain came and washed them off

So we should write'em again on the wet cement

A long time from now they'll know what we meant

Chorus

You want every morning to be just like

The stories that you read but never write

You've got to learn to live, and live and learn

You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn

I'm only concerned

Bridge

Verse

I'm adding something new to the mixture

So there's a different hue to your picture

A different ending to this fairytale

Another sunset into which we sail

Chorus

You want everything to be just like

The stories that you read, but you can't write

You've got to learn to live, and live and learn

You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn

Or you'll get burned
