[Verse 1]
I was working at a bar
A twenty-four year-old saving for a new guitar
I was late for our first date
So I promised you that I would finally graduate

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how a moment could start out small
And when we look back it's the biggest of them all
Every happy birthday, each fork in the road
I can't wait to see us when we get old
I remember driving up to Brussels for you
The cold December thinking you're too good to be true

[Chorus]
You don't even try
But you always make me, always make me
Time is flying by
But you always make me, always make me
Smile

[Verse 2]
Remember when I heard the news
And I realized everything I had to lose
We didn't have to speak at all
When you held my hand crying at a funeral
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how a moment could start out small
And when we look back it's the biggest of them all
Every happy birthday, each fork in the road
I can't wait to see us when we get old
I remember driving up to Brussels for you
The cold December thinking you're too good to be true

[Chorus]
You don't even try
But you always make me, always make me
Time is flying by
But you always make me, always make me
Smile

[Bridge]
Don't you know you're my best friend
We're having so much fun I hope it never has to end

[Chorus]
You don't even try
But you always make me, always make me
Time is flying by
But you always make me, always make me
Smile
