Stay Gold, Ponyboy

The Get Up Kids

This is the closest

To this friend that I've been

I hope you find it

On greener ground and bluer skies

I hope you don't think less of me

If I'm cold

I don't want to watch you go

I'll cry

Until I can't see the whites of your eyes

For two more years (two more years)

We'll be

Old enough to know better

Young enough to pretend

This is the last of my letters

I hope you find my home

And I hope you're the first one in

I know it won't be the same

I'll be there if you need anything

At all you want to be

Run around the world with me

State your distance but

It's not a million miles away

If this is what will really make you happy

Then I'll say

We'll be

Old enough to know better,

Young enough to pretend

This is the last of my letters

Until I see you again
