[Verse 1]
Mom and Dad are out of town
The two of us are grown-ups now
Pepper had to be put down
Hard to take, hard to own
Not hard to break a collarbone
A little late, but not alone

[Pre-Chorus]
And you're only twenty-two
And the world is watching you
Judging everything you do
Just a house and just a room
Just a handful of balloons
Just another afternoon

[Chorus]
Just the way it almost was
When it's just the two of us
Sleep all day, I'll wake you up
When it's just the two of us

[Verse 2]
Choir trip, chaperone
Got homesick, got sent home
Mom and Dad on the phone
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're only twenty-two
And there's nothin' I can do
I made mistakes, you'll make 'em too
A part of me is part of you
Just a diffеrent shade of blue
Just a littlе family feud

[Chorus]
Just the way it almost was
When it's just the two of us
Sleep all day, I'll wake you up
When it's just the two of us

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
(Ah-ah, ah)
Ahh-ahh-ahh

[Outro]
(Ahh) And you're only twenty-two
And there's nothin' I can do
A part of me is part of you
Just a different shade of blue
