I’ve never been much to hurry
I’ve never been one to cry
I guess I’ll know what I’ve become
A week before I die…. I’m not ready
To grow up, girl…
And you’re my favorite person in the world

Lonely coldwater canyons…
Low & lonely tides
And you’re a thousand miles away….
And always on my mind…. I’m not ready
To lose you, girl…
And you’re my favorite person in the world

Seems the more I live alone the worse I am
So far from all the things I long to hear

I guess I’ve learned a bit too much about myself
And I don’t like what I see when you’re not there

Tell me there’re no secrets
Tell me I’m the one
And talk about the two of us
When life had just begun
I’m not ready… to lose you, girl

And you’re my favorite person in the world
