We don't have a plan
Just pack your bags and run as fast as we can
We hold the future in the palm of our hands
I know you hear me, but do you understand

Yeah, we've been making a scene
I'll keep on singing while you shake tamberine
Whether we're broke, whether we're living the dream
I see you laughing but you know what I mean

I'm talking about the highs
I'm talking about the lows
I'm sticking by your side
No way I'm letting go
I'm talking about forever, baby
I'm giving you forever, baby, it's yours
I'm talking about the highs
I'm talking about the lows

When we're gray and we're old
And we run out of all the silver and gold
Will you still wanna be my someone to hold
See, I would tell you but you already know

I'm talking about the highs
I'm talking about the lows
I'm sticking by your side
No way I'm letting go
I'm talking about forever, baby
I'm giving you forever, baby, it's yours
I'm talking about the highs
I'm talking about the lows

I'm certain that there's no other
It's banging in my heart like thunder
I know that I was made to love you
No way I'm letting go

I'll be there for the highs
I'll be there through the lows
I'm staying by your side
No way I'm letting go

I'm talking about the highs
I'm talking about the lows
I'm sticking by your side
No way I'm letting go
I'm talking about forever, baby
I'm giving you forever, baby, it's yours
I'm talking about the highs
I'm talking about the lows
