Bet you can't go ahead of time and survive Bet you can't live your whoel life and still be alive Bet you can't keep any relationship from breaking Bet you can't keep our conscinces from fading Bet you can't walk around the world and come back here Bet you can't wish me away and make me disappear Bet you can't keep the sun from shining on your face Bet you can't be quiet instead of shouting all over the place Bet you can't make the sun or moon fall from the sky Bet you can't watch me forget you and not wonder why Bet you can't see Santa take a cookie from a baking pan Bet you can't ever be a nicer or kinder man Bet you can't keep the night from being dark or stormy Bet you can't keep anyone from ever talking to me Bet you can't shut your mouth and have nothing to say Bet you can't keep a little kid from having fun at play Bet you can't go one single day without having one fight Bet you can't go to sleep and wake up in the middle of the night Bet you can't think of me as a figment of your imagination Bet you can't sense any of the anticipation Bet you can't ever stop or slow down the race of time Bet you can't come back from the dead and say your life was worth a dime Bet you can't climb up and jump from the highest tree Bet you can't leave for more than a year and say you never missed me |
