I was 18 and so were you   I was that birkenstock geek rock dude   You were the back flip, doe-eyed,   Tree-climbing, earth-mama, beautiful evergreen girl      And I never thought that I could be   Gettin' my grey hair with you beside me   And there's something I'm blind to but you still see      And it couldn't be better, I know   It shouldn't be easier to hold   I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall      I wanna be the toy in your cereal box   I wanna be Charter in your peace talks   I wanna get almost too familiar   But still notice the way that you walk      If you said you were going away   I'd run on the tarmac   And I would lay down in front of the plane   Just to get you to stay      Cos it couldn't be better, I know   It shouldn't be easier to hold   I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall      Got everything I'd ever wanted here   Everything, then this constant fear   I'm sure I'm gonna lose it all   Just waiting for the other boot to fall      If you thought I could be replaced   I wouldn't just stop w/ an ear   I would cut off my whole fuckin' face   Just to make my point clear      That it couldn't be better, I know   It shouldn't be easier to hold   I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall   I'm waiting for the other boot to fall
