(Neil Thrasher/James Janosky)I was young, he was old
we both were the same age
Everyday playing fetch, shaking hands
he'd lick my faceI wasn't aware
The day would come
Then he died
For the first I knew what real pain wasI was never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began
Senior high, girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer break, spend my time
Filling out applicationsA few superficial years went by
They were all a blur
In the most unlikely situation
There you wereI never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began
With youBy your side, scared to death
Felt the pain, you were fighting
Placed my palm on your head
Spoke your name, just keep trying
Then you closed your eyes and took one last breath
When it was over you looked up
Laid our baby across your breastAnd I never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began
