I was working at a bar
A twenty-four year-old saving for a new guitar
I was late for our first date
So I promised you that I would finally graduate

Funny how a moment could start off small
And when we look back it's the biggest of all
Every happy birthday, each fork in the road
I can't wait to see us when we get old
I remember driving up to Brussels for you
The cold December thinking you're too good to be true

You don't even try
But you always make me, always make me
Time is flying by
But you always make me, always make me smile

Remember when I heard the news
And I realized everything I had to lose
We didn't have to speak at all
When you held my hand crying at a funeral

Funny how a moment could start off small
And when we look back it's the biggest of all
Every happy birthday, each fork in the road
I can't wait to see us when we get old
I remember driving up to Brussels for you
The cold December thinking you're too good to be true

You don't even try
But you always make me, always make me
Time is flying by
But you always make me, always make me smile
You always make me, always make me smile

Don't you know you're my best friend
We're having so much fun I hope it's never gonna end

You don't even try
But you always make me, always make me
Time is flying by
But you always make me, always make me smile

You always make me, always make me smile
