I know it's over before she says I know it falls at the water face I know it's over, an ocean awaits For a storm The sun and snow Rivers and rain Crystal ball could foresee a change And I know it's over, parting our ways And it's done But didn't we have fun? Don't say it was all a waste Didn't we have fun? Oh-oh-oh From the top of the world Top of the waves You said forever, forever always We could have been lost We would have been saved Oh, I-aaah Now we're stopping the world, stopping it's spin Oh come on don't give up You see me give in Don't say it's over Don't say we're done Oh, didn't we have fun? Woo-oh-oh-oh Woo-oh-oh-oh Woo-oh-oh-oh Oh, didn't we have fun? I know it's over before she says Now someone else has taken your place I know it's over Icarus says to the sun And so it sinks in, lightning strikes You're too forced to force his glide The fact that it's over, the fact that it's done Ah-ah-ah Didn't we have fun? Don't say it was all a waste Didn't we have fun? Oh-oh From the top of the world Top of the waves You said forever, forever always We could have been lost We would have been saved Oh, I-aaah Now we're stopping the world, stopped it in its tracks Nothing's too broken to find our way back So before it's over, before you run Ah, didn't we have fun? Just you and me We were always meant to, always meant to Be We were always meant to, always meant to You and me We were always meant to, always meant to Be Oh-ooh-ooh Oh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, didn't we have fun? Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, didn't we have fun? But didn't? Maybe we could again
