Nineteen and Forever

I was five and she was three
I was 12 and she was ten
Were we all that different then
Look how free we'd be
I was 13 so she's eleven
The storm came through in '87
All those summers run together
What it means to me ain't what it means to you
She's nineteen so I'm 21
I become the fortunate son
By the time the winter comes
Where we're two now only one
I'm 27 plays nineteen
Thirty, thirty three, three seven
The lights are on but she's not seen
the intervening years between
Nineteen and forever
Nineteen and forever
Borrowed time on the never never
Nineteen and forever
