We’ll Go Later

We said we'd go

We said we'd go

We never did

We never did

When I was young

When I was young

There was always later

There was always later

No date

No date

No ticket

No ticket

Just we'll go someday

Only the words “We’ll go someday”

Life kept moving

Life kept moving

Someday never came

Someday never came

I didn't know

I didn't know

Later could turn into never

That later could turn into never

We'll go later

We'll go later

That's what I say now

That's what I say now

And I hear the words

And I hear the words

I heard when I was young

I heard when I was young

I know life gets in the way

I know life gets in the way

I know there are reasons

I know there are reasons

I just don't want

I just don't want

Later to mean never

For later to mean never

Now you ask me

Now you ask me

And I almost say it

And I almost say it

The same easy answer

The same easy answer

Passed down to me

That had been passed down to me

Then I see

Then I see

How fast a childhood moves

How fast a childhood moves

We'll go later

We'll go later

That's what I say now

That's what I say now

And I hear the words

And I hear the words

I heard when I was young

I heard when I was young

I know life gets in the way

I know life gets in the way

I know there are reasons

I know there are reasons

I just don't want

I just don't want

Later to mean never

Later to mean never

I can't change

I can't change

The later that disappeared behind me

The later that vanished behind me

I can change

I can change

The one in front of you

The later that lies ahead of you

We'll go later

We'll go later

But not forever

But I won’t keep postponing it forever

I don't want your childhood

I don't want your childhood

Waiting on my word

Waiting on my word

I know life gets in the way

I know life gets in the way

But this time I mean it

But this time, I truly mean it

I don't want

I don't want

Later to mean never

Later to mean never

We'll go

We'll go

We'll go

We'll go
