Gentle Shove Of Fate

Okay, it's time to go
I'll leave this pretty white town with its pretty white fences
I guess I'll take a shot at the real world
Where it's nothing but adventure and romance and
This future, this table in the front yard, kids out the back and
My mother's voice
Laughing in my head as I push up my glasses

And I will remember you
The way you look right now
And I will remember this
As the time of my life

It's true that I don't believe in much
But I've begun to see the need for something else in this
I don't think a god could help me
Maybe some faith in myself is long overdue
As I watch your horizon call to you
Your feet fly away while mine are firmly planted
And another thing to do
Make sure the next time there'll be time enough again, I swear

And I will remember you
The way you look right now
And I will remember this
As the time of my life

Okay it's not forever
Just one year, and I'll be back before you notice
The world won't change me
I might change it but I'll still be the same, I swear
You never notice
Sometimes fate creeps up and takes you by the arm
That's how I got here anyway
So I'll just wait for the next gentle shove of fate

And I will remember you
The way you look right now
And I will remember this
As the time of my life
