10 Years

I read in a magazine somewhere
Our body's cells regenerate
Every ten years like clockwork
Ticking ten years too late

If it's true, we're completely new people
Could we try again someday
When a new heart is thumping
Kicking, ten years too late

Well it's you
That I need
Ten years is nothing
How hard can it be
Well it's you
That I need
Just give me something
But your loving set me free

I was driving to work and on the radio
The singer sounded just like you
When you belt out the lyrics to a song that you loved
And I hated, and you knew it too

It made me think of the creek in the backyard
Where I ran away for a day or two
Not because you're like a creek or anything
I just really wanna run away with you

My love is longer than the apple orchard
I planted for you
And stronger than the ox are pulling
So apples surely grew
And taller than the highest tree
And deeper than its roots
And sturdy like the trunk aswayin'
And sweeter than its fruit
And warm like summer rainfall
And farther than the moon
And beautiful like springtime
When the apple blossoms bloom

And I
Believe, believe, believe believe
And I
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me
