I know everyone you know You know everyone I know Our Venn diagrams are one circle
You grow up when I'm not looking We grow apart without knowing And all of a sudden I'm leaving
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans 'Cause I watched the time slip through my hands
But you don't know now, One day you'll learn Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you 'Cause even on your own, You are not alone
Take me with you 'Cause even by yourself, my love You are something else
One summer turns into ten summers One lover turns into ten lovers But this memory is still with me
Circles bring me in circles Your clothes underneath my clothes Once upon a time in Portugal
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans 'Cause I watched the time slip through my hands
But you don't know now, One day you'll learn Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you 'Cause even on your own, You are not alone
Take me with you 'Cause even by yourself, my love You are something else
No matter what you want, Somebody else wants it just as bad No matter what you got, Somebody else has got it worse No matter when I got to you, Somebody else got to you first
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans 'Cause I watched the time slip through my hands
But you don't know now, One day you'll learn Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you 'Cause even on your own, You are not alone
Take me with you 'Cause even by yourself, my love You are something else
