Want to write a nonfiction love song 
Cause I don't have one yet 
I've got almost and maybes 
And what happened here baby 
But not a love song 

But we've got time to kill 
All the reasons we should hold back 
And I wear you on a 
Locket 'round my neck 
And I haven't opened it up yet 
But I'll look back and laugh I'll bet 
And tell you 'bout these days 
Like they are stories of old 
And I wish my voice would echo 
Through galaxies and such 
To scratch the surface of 
Explaining to you just how much I'm glad 
You don't have to try 
You don't have to change 
Baby you stay just the same 

Used to want time to run so quickly 
Now crawling is fine 
Cause the older I get the more 
I see I need every moment 
To let my roots grow down deep 

So we've got time to kill 
All the reasons we should hold back 
And I wear you on a 
Locket 'round my neck 
And I haven't opened it up yet 
But I'll look back and laugh I'll bet 
And tell you 'bout these days 
Like they are stories of old 
And I wish my voice would echo 
Through galaxies and such 
To scratch the surface of 
Explaining to you just how much I'm glad 
You don't have to try 
You don't have to change 
Baby you stay just the same 

I'll try not to wish you would hurry 
I'm learning how not to worry 
I don't want to let you down 
Could I sing to every week 
Make just enough for what we need 
And walk together 'round the town 
I'll try not to wish you would hurry 
I'm learning how not to worry 
I don't want to let you down 
Could I sing to every week 
Make just enough for what we need 
And walk together 'round the town 

Wish my voice would echo 
Through galaxies and such 
To scratch the surface of 
Explaining to you just how much I'm glad 
You don't have to try 
You don't have to change 
Baby you stay just the same
