If It’s Not Forever

[Verse 1]
When you cross my mind
It’s right before I go to bed
I see your face lit up in red
Out in the suburbs
It’s been a while now
We’re not what we used to be
Guess that’s just not what we need
If it’s not forever

[Chorus]
When we’re old and grey
We’ll both have these memories
You might be in London with your brother
Half a world away
None of that can change
What it was like
To be young, to be alive
When we’re old and grey
Memories never age

[Verse 2]
If it stays this way
I know we’d be all right
We had our place and our time
And I wouldn’t change it
So what it’s over now
I still get to think about it
Anytime I close my eyes

[Chorus]
Baby when we’re old and grey
We’ll both have these memories
I might be in Paris with a lover
Baby who can say
None of that can change
What it was like
To be young, to be alive
When we’re old and grey
Memories never age

[Bridge]
Right back to the night we met
Your glass of wine and my rain jacket
I can’t remember what we said
But I was flying
Left the bar and I chased you down
Said you liked having me around
No we never figured out how it worked for us
If it’s not forever that’s just fine because

[Chorus]
Baby when we’re old and grey
We’ll both have these memories
You might be in London with your brother
Half a world away
None of that can change
What it was like
To be young, to be alive
When we’re old and grey
Memories never age
Memories never age
