I remember how I couldn't wait to get out
Of my hometown
Now I'm looking for every excuse
To go back on the weekend
I can still see the front-porch balcony
Every time I leave

Grandpa waving back at me

Wish I coulda told myself back then



It won't always be like this

It won't always be like this

I know nothing lasts forever

But sometimes I still forget

It won't always be like this



I remember hearing the door slam

Twenty-two, didn't have a clue

Who I was, who I could trust

And who were my real friends

I had big wings but didn't have a sky

Just a front-row view

Of everybody flying high

Waiting for my time

Wish I coulda told myself back then



It won't always be like this

It won't always be like this

No, the heart won't ache forever

No matter how hard it gets

It won't always be like this, no



Looking at you looking back at me

All I wanna do is make another memory

And love you like it's the end



'Cause it won't always be like this

It won't always be like this



No, it won't always be like this

I know it won't always be like this

I wish love would last forever

So I could live it all again

It won't always be like this

It won't always be like this
