Mates

[Verse 1]
Her face is young and so is mine
Kindly divide me, read me like a book tonight
Firefly, hold me close until I die
Hold me close until I'm warm
Laying down here on the floor
It's made up of things that will never be
I love you and you love me
Apparently, dramatically, convincingly, you could kiss me
We could run away and build a house, and fix it up, and make it ours

[Chorus]
When the roof cracks, we'll fix it
When the pipes rust, we'll change 'em
When your heart's old and it stops, mine will stop, mine will stop
When your hands are old and grey, can I hold you every day?
Can I tell you how I feel for the very last time?

[Verse 2]
And I never knew what he was going through
Until he finally got, his self fucking shot
They say that make believe, it don't mean anything
But I've seen make believe and it means everything
They say my light will burn out but I was just having fun
Hanging out here in the sun, looking for my mate in life
My mate in life, my mate in life, my mate in life, my mate in life
My mate in life, my mate in life, my mate in life, my mate in life
My mate in life, my mate in life, my mate in life

[Chorus]
When the roof cracks, we'll fix it
When the pipes rust, we'll change 'em
When your heart's old and it stops, mine will stop, mine will stop
When your hands are old and grey, can I hold you every day?
Can I tell you how I feel for the very last time?
