All I know Is everything is not as it seems But the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people, are really not real at all The more I learn, the more I learned The more I cry the more I cried As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there I'm all I'll ever be And all I can do is try, Try All of the moments that already passed already passed We'll try to go back and make them last All of the things we want each other to be We never will be, we never will be And that's wonderful, that's life That's you baby This is me baby We are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are Free In our love We are free in our love Try
