When the babies are grown up and they move so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we'll learn to be okay
But one day we will long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now
I will remember you walking towards me in that dress
Long after I've forgotten my own name
As every other thing about me cracks and fades away
The way I love you stays and stays and stays
When the babies are grown up and they move so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we'll learn to be okay
But one day we will long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now
I used to carry you 20 blocks home on my back
Late nights when your shoes would hurt your feet
Seems a thousand lives ago but the memories just as sweet
And you kept me safe from much worse things than glass out in the street
When the babies are grown up and they move so far away
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we'll learn to be okay
But one day we will long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house
'Cause the good old days are happening right now
May I get to wake beside you 20 thousand mornings more?
May the only thing that we don't have enough of soon be born?
May we live to love each other even more than we do now, somehow?
