Throwing sticks and skipping stones Broken hearts and broken bones Bring 'em home and mama'd mend 'em I stole a kiss she asked to stay Man I thought I was Hemingway I wrote a poem but I never sent it You never know when something Will never happen again And it all goes by so fast Nothing's made to last And we've all been fooled together Thinking we're gonna live forever Yeah we're gonna live forever Mini skirts and mini bars My older brother's ID cards Called my dad, said "come and get him" I got a job and moved away Thought I was ready for a change Turned out I kinda missed them Yeah I missed 'em hey hey hey You never know when something Will never happen again And it all goes by so fast Nothing's made to last And we've all been fooled together Thinking we're gonna live forever Yeah we're gonna live forever There's a wedding dress And the children were next And rainy days and baseball games Then they're grown and they're gone And you wish they were home But you're left sitting all alone Don't wish it away That's the deal that we make Oh yeah And it all goes by so fast Nothing's made to last And we've all been fooled together Thinking we're gonna live forever (Don't wish it away) Yeah we're gonna live forever (Don't wish It away) (Forever)
