Paying the Price

Do you remember a time
Back in our prime,
Back when our hearts were both young.
It was just you and me
Wild and free
Happily focused on just having fun.
But time has a way
Of making us pay
For every roll of the dice.
We bet it all
And our bluff gets called,
And we end up paying the price.

After all the dances
And the chances that we dared
It’s amazing that we’re both still here.
You and me together
Damn the weather, we don’t care.
We could face the devil without fear.

So let the piper play,
We’ll pay him someday,
Let the music go on for a while.
Honey can’t you see
It’s just reality.
We can dance and stroll another mile.
We can face another day,
It all passes anyway,
So cut that cake and have another slice.
Put your worries in the past
Because nothing ever lasts
And we all end up paying the price.
