Oh I went for a walk on a gray autumn day
The cold air almost burning my face
An old man sitting there
With the wind in his hair
On a bench at the edge of the lake
He said I was once my mother's favorite son
Or so she claimed
But when she left I wasn't sure
I'd know love again
And the reasons we do what we do
Never changes the facts at the end of the line
All the pain that we cause and mistakes they will not
Go away if we just give it time
They say people never change
But don't believe all that you hear
Just as long as you're still breathing
Change will always be near
So we live
And we learn
And we love
'till we burn
And I'd do it all over again
Yeah I'd do it all over again
Oh the stories he told
He was chasing his nose
With that handkerchief weathered and old
As I sat next to him
With the lake at the brim
And the waves nearly nipping my toes
He said no one really knows what they have got
Until it's gone
But I never understood and now
I've waited too long
And the reasons we do what we do
Never changes the facts at the end of the line
All the pain that we cause and mistakes they will not
Go away if we just give it time
They say people never change
But don't believe all that you hear
Just as long as you're still breathing
Change will always be near
So we live
And we learn
And we love
'till we burn
And I'd do it all over again
Yeah I'd do it all over again
And the reasons we do what we do
Never changes the facts at the end of the line
All the pain that we cause and mistakes they will not
Go away if we just give it time
They say people never change
But don't believe all that you hear
Just as long as you're still breathing
Change will always be near
So we live
And we learn
And we love
'till we burn
And I'd do it all over again
Yeah I'd do it all over again
Yeah I'd do it all over again
Yeah I'd do it all over again
