But if this is love, it ain't enough 

And I can't go through with it can't 

keep it up 

We're at the aprty, they're playing the songs 

And we're right here 

But we never get to dance 



We just sit and stare 



You won't love me when I'm older 

You just settle for the thrill 

And while you sit there drinking water 

"You cruel, careless man" 

I'm trying hard to swim 



I've sorted it out 

Like they say "you know...loove buurns 

Like most good things do" 

But then it's you 

It's you on my window, it's you on hallway 

It's you on the rearview mirror talking 

It's you on the radio in all the songs we've been through 



You won't love me when I'm older 

You just settle for the thrill 

And while you sit there drinking water 

"You cruel, careless man" 

I'm trying hard to swim 



You won't love me when I'm older 

You just settle for the thrill 

So go ahead and choke on water 

"You cruel, careless man" 

You will end where I begin
