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.
