If We Made the Rules
A picket fence and a quiet yard
A wrap-around porch by a used car
Great big windows and a porch light we leave on
Maybe a dog with curly hair
Four to six kids when we get there
I'll write you songs until we're millionaires
We sit on your roof
Dream until our dreams are foolproof
Wishing it could be, but only if we made the rules
We're so young, it's so true
But as long as it's me and you
I know it'll be, but only if we make the rules
A perfect date for every week
A little garden for early spring
Taking the kids so they'll see grandma and grandpa
We'll make a list of where we wanna go
Yearly trips when it starts to snow
Ready to leave cause we just already miss home
We sit on your roof
Dream until our dreams are foolproof
Wishing it could be, but only if we made the rules
We're so young, it's so true
But as long as it's me and you
I know it'll be, but only if we make the rules
We're ninety-nine and life is good
Everything's gone just like it should
At the end of every day, we're just thinking about
We're only here today cause that night we
Sat on your roof
Dreamed until our dreams were foolproof
Wishing it could be, but only if we made the rules
We were so young, it was so true
But as long as it was me and you
We knew it would be, but only if we made the rules
The rules
We knew it would be, but only if we made the rules
A wrap-around porch by a used car
Great big windows and a porch light we leave on
Maybe a dog with curly hair
Four to six kids when we get there
I'll write you songs until we're millionaires
We sit on your roof
Dream until our dreams are foolproof
Wishing it could be, but only if we made the rules
We're so young, it's so true
But as long as it's me and you
I know it'll be, but only if we make the rules
A perfect date for every week
A little garden for early spring
Taking the kids so they'll see grandma and grandpa
We'll make a list of where we wanna go
Yearly trips when it starts to snow
Ready to leave cause we just already miss home
We sit on your roof
Dream until our dreams are foolproof
Wishing it could be, but only if we made the rules
We're so young, it's so true
But as long as it's me and you
I know it'll be, but only if we make the rules
We're ninety-nine and life is good
Everything's gone just like it should
At the end of every day, we're just thinking about
We're only here today cause that night we
Sat on your roof
Dreamed until our dreams were foolproof
Wishing it could be, but only if we made the rules
We were so young, it was so true
But as long as it was me and you
We knew it would be, but only if we made the rules
The rules
We knew it would be, but only if we made the rules
