I was just 18 singing songs in the summer time And we would dream and listen to lullabies So I got thinking, to make a living I would write songs about our lives
I took a trip down to Virginia in the spring time And by the fall we had 5 songs and dreams in our minds And so the times change, just like the seasons do I should have left, then, couldn't get over you
I need to move far away 'Cause nothing gold can ever stay I've got nothing to lose
I'll live with or without you You'll fall when no one surrounds you Realize there's no one to miss you I'll never love you never like they do I'll live with or without you You'll fall when no one surrounds you I'll live with or without you
We packed our bags and drove through Chicago We passed through Memphis on our way to the left coast We saw so many days, days passed and memories made This was life on the road
We lived the high life It was fast and so free But time changed everyone And it included me
So our lives changed Just liked the seasons do I should have left then But I still love you
I need to move far away 'Cause nothing gold can ever stay I've got nothing to lose
I'll live with or without you You'll fall when no one surrounds you Realize there's no one to miss you I'll never love you never like they do I'll live with or without you You'll fall when no one surrounds you And you'll realize
So forget what you know Move on and let it go You wasted too much time In thoughts of other lives I see the other side It's filled with better times One filled with summer vibes Just like our old lives With or without you
I'll live with or without you You'll fall when no one surrounds you Realize there's no one to miss you I'll never love you never like they do I'll live with or without you You'll fall when no one surrounds you And you'll realize I'll live with or without you
