Who We Are, Who We'll Become

My grandfather used to say, "don't put off tomorrow, what you can't do today"
And when you find the one, say it loud and bold
I ran into my first love, 6th grade and summer at the Samp Mortar Pond
We'd crank up Pearl Jam and we would never get old

We'd try to sing along to the tunes we'd hear
When every song still sounded like a hymn
All of it was gone by my 16th year
But I remember those words that my Grandfather said

Lovers they came and they went,
Plenty of money and heartache was spent, I kept searching

I tried to sing along to the tunes I knew
But eventually they didn't sound the same
Everything he said, well it still holds true
It's not just the words, but the way that you say them

Who we are, who we will become
We were kids, we were just having fun
Through it all I kept singing my songs
Who we are and who we will become

Some day I guess it will be me, passing on words to my own legacy
What I leave behind, was it more than I came with?

Who we are, who we will become
We were kids, we had barely begun
Through it all I knew you were the one
Who we are, who we will become
