lyrics

The winterʼs coming and my ﬁngers are cold
I got new socks they keep my feet pretty warm
We laugh and play like a couple of kids
Iʼm so happy to be learning new tricks

I can make the best of all my time
I can shake the monkey off my mind

I was lost with nothing to live for
I could join the army put myself in a war
So upset I didnʼt know what to do
But Iʼm so happy now that I found you

We can make the best of all our time
We can ﬁnd a better kind of life
When I was a little boy
Everything was in pictures and movies
I did what other people thought I should
But now my mind is different
I canʼt tell you what is winning what is losing
Or which I been choosing to do

My mind and body made a little bet
Can I be happy am I able to yet
For all my life they never could get along
They split the money and nobody won

I canʼt take it losing all the time
I feel like Iʼm losing my mind

When I was a little boy
Everything was in pictures and movies
I did what other people thought I should
But now my mind is different
I can tell you what is winning what is losing
And which Iʼll be choosing to do

Move your mind another step with me
Weʼll take our time and make it last
When I feel you lying next to me
Iʼll know that I am ﬁnally a man
Weʼre gonna love each other now the best we can
