[Verse 1]
I was 18, so were you
And I was that Birkenstock, geek rock dude
You were a backflip, doe-eyed, tree-climbin'
Earth mama, beautiful evergreen girl

[Pre-Chorus]
And I never thought that I could be
Getting my gray hair with you beside me
And there's something I'm blind to
But you still see

[Chorus]
And it couldn't be better, I know
It shouldn't be easier, whoa, oh
I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

[Verse 2]
I want to be the toy in your cereal box
I want to be Carter at your peace talks
I want to get almost too familiar
But still notice the way that you walk

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you said you were going away
I'd run on the tarmac
And I would lay down in front of the plane
Just to get you to stay

[Chorus]
This couldn't be better, I know
It shouldn't be easier, whoa, oh
I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

[Bridge]
Got everything I've ever wanted here
Everything and damn this constant fear
Sure I'm gonna lose it all
Just waiting for the other boot to fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you thought I could be replaced
I wouldn't just stop with an ear
I would cut off my whole freakin' face
Just to make my point clear

[Chorus]
That it couldn't be better, I know
It shouldn't be easier, oh, whoa
I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall
I'm waiting for the other boot to fall
