Amanda - JOHNNYSWIM

Often love ends in sadness

It burns and bleeds and breaks before it bends

Look at what we’ve built from all the madness

You are my beginning, you’re my end

It was always you and me

I loved you at twenty-three

What’s the word for how I feel about you now?

Feel like Paris on the night

When I promised you my life

Look forever, you might find

Amanda

Young lovers covet the beginning

They’d feign to find the fire ever fake

The lesson that we’ve learned over and again

Is pain and pleasure both are worth the same

It was always you and me

I loved you at twenty-three

What’s the word for how I feel about you now?

When the kids have gone to sleep

And I’m making us a drink

Raising babies, chasing dreams

Amanda

It was always you and me

I loved you at twenty-three

What’s the word for how I feel about you now?

When I’m getting old and gray

And I’m counting up my days

The last word that I’ll say

Amanda

A name so sweet

It sings like a melody

Brings me peace

It brings me peace
