Five Years Later

I don’t think there’s a heaven,

I don’t believe we get a second chance.

And even though I’d love it to happen,

I don’t think we’ll get to talk again.

So I’ll say now, what I should have before,

The memories I cherish, just wish we had more.   (wish we had more)

And when I heard 

That you went away

It took me several days 

To believe it

To believe it 

And while now I know it's real

I still don't know what to feel.

Five years later

Five years later

Five years later

I wish I heard you play guitar,

Talk about the bands we love in the car.

And I wish I got to hear you sing

And that you knew all the joy you would bring.

All that remains, is what could have been

And thinking back now, what could I have done?

And when I heard 

That you went away 

It took me several days 

To believe it

To believe it 

And while now I know that it's real

I still don't know what the hell I should feel.

Five years later

Five years later

Five years later

I don’t think there’s a heaven,

But if there is, here is what I’d say.

 I’m not sure what was happening before,

When my heart was on the floor.

We dove in, not sure of what’s next

Now we’re ready to soar,

I am here for the long haul,

I am here to stay.

I am here for the long haul.

Each and every day.

I’m not sure what was happening before,

When I had nothing to give.

You gave me time, to find myself

And now I’m ready to live.

I am here for the long haul,

I am here to stay.

I am here for the long haul.

Each and every day.

La la la, lala la la la, la lala la

La la la, lala la la la, la lala la

And will we still hold hands

When we’re older

Keep each other warm

As this world grows colder

I think we will because

I think we will because…

I am here for the long haul,

I am here to stay.

I am here for the long haul.

Each and every day.

La la la, lala la la la, la lala la

La la la, lala la la la, la lala la

 Looking in the rearview mirror, 

and it was pretty clear. 

It became plain to see,

That you and I weren't meant to be

Now’s the time to look ahead

Focus on what’s in store

Moving on with a clear head

We’ll repair what is sore

There’s no need, to defend

How it came to its end

It was just time, 

Time to move on

And so we did.

So we did

And so we did

No one said that we have to be sad

No one said that we need to stay mad

We don’t need to be mad

And we don't need to be sad or mad or sad or mad

There’s no need, to defend

How it came to its end

It was just time, 

Time to move on

And so we did.

So we did

There’s no need, to explain

Why the sun, soon became rain.

It was just time, 

Time to grow up

And so we did.

And so we did 

And so we did
