Swore I'd

lyrics

Young, dumb, headstrong and highstrung
That could describe us those days
We fought and we frolicked and both for good reason
And now we've got nothing to say

You were an island and I was a sailor
I wept at the sight of your land
And many ports later I still hold so dear
The day my ship hit your sand

See I was no different than most boys my age
I talked to get into your jeans
But now you can see that I'm not 23
I've returned to say what I mean

I swore I'd remember to never forget you
Told you I'd love you always
But oh how the times have changed both of us
But still I mean what I say

Though love from the heart will fade
Love from the soul will stay

Young, dumb, insecure, out for fun
Raised up on tabloids and reality TV
But hard knocks and living, all those visits to prison
Done made, eventually, a realist of me

I thought you was a sailor, and I was your ocean
No matter where you'd run to, the only thing for you was me
But no amount of bitter tears could wash the wear from all these years
Guess even sailors grow weary of wandering at sea

But I swore I'd remember to never forget you
Told you I'd love you always
But oh how the times have changed both of us
But still I mean what I say

Though love from the heart will fade
Love from the soul will stay
