Gibbon Days

If I had known you when I was four
I'd have invited you to my birthday with the dinosaurs
At the museum we'd sit outside with our balloons
Maybe twirl them around, do what little kids do

Thank god I know you now
To hold you better as I am
How we got here is a mystery to me
But I'd rather live these days in wonder
Than in clarity

If you had known me when you were nine
You probably would have schooled me in a karate fight
Maybe I'd have cried; too sensitive to handle
Maybe not thought twice even if you tried to apologize

Thank god I know you now
To hold you better as you are
How we got here is a mystery to me
But I'd rather live these days in wonder
Than in clarity

They say timing is everything
And there's a black hole outside the window to our world
This clock is ticking relentlessly
But we're just fine to let it go
We're just fine to let it go

Here we are, hand in hand
Perusing art galleries and singing in bands
We'll meet for lunch every weekday
And under withering umbrellas we'll laugh away the rain

Thank god I know you now
To hold you better as I am
How we got here is a mystery to me
But I'd rather live these days in wonder
Than in clarity
