I often think about the way you'll think about me when we're old
I always thought that we could be the greatest story ever told
But there's a rock inside my sock, I'll keep on walking 'cause it's cold
And I can't stop the clock from ticking
I know that it's just the beginning
Don't forget
This story's not over yet
Time pass like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers
Tell me you won't forget
Remember the night we met
Rewind like an old cassette
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers
Playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
I'll be playing for you, you, you
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers
I often wonder why I wonder how I'll feel in 30 years
About the time we spent together, will the memories disappear?
It might sound crazy, but, my baby, that's the thing that I most fear
Oh, I can't stop the world from spinning
I know that it's just the beginning
So please don't forget
This story's not over yet
Time pass like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers
Tell me you won't forget
Remember the night we met
Rewind like an old cassette
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers
Playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
I'll be playing for you, you, you
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers
And if one day the image starts to fade
Don't worry babe, well, that would be okay
I'll give you all the memories that I saved
Just leave me with a picture, just a picture of your face
I won't forget
This story's not over yet
Time pass like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers
Tell me you won't forget
Remember the night we met
Rewind like an old cassette
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers
Playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
Playing for you, you, you
And I'll be the song that's on your speakers playing for you
