lyrics

Drove by her old place today
Hadn't been there ever since she moved away
Catching up with the shadows she made on the wall
Now I'm king of them all

Every lonely railroad track
Brings old memories of her flooding back
When she kissed me it knocked me right off of my feet
When she lived down my street

I don't mind, I don't care
There's no other when she's not there
I am hers, she is mine
The way it'll be for all time

Still don't know just what it meant
Sorting through the Valentines never sent
Since she went away, candy just don't taste as sweet
As that girl down the street

I don't mind, I don't care
There's no other when she's not there
I am hers, she is mine
The way it'll be for all time
Don't tell me life ain't fair
That's no motto for those who care
Anyway, I'll be fine
Get it over and give me time

Holding on to a dream
It ain't easy as they make it seem
Anyway, I hope you are okay
Where you are today

Fifteen billion years from now
When the world is dark and cold, the sun's gone out
I'll be waiting here, holding my heart in my hand
Lord I hope she understands

I don't mind, I don't care
There's no other when she's not there
I am hers, she is mine
The way it'll be for all time
Don't tell me life ain't fair
That's no motto for those who care
Should our paths never meet
I'll still be waiting for the girl down my street
