Well your age, it means nothing to me but I’ll give it a guess. 
The country I come from and my name might mean even less.
You tell me that yours can be spelled with an “o” or an “a-u-x”
I don’t know you now but I think that I’d like to.

I’ve got boxed wine in the car and Chardonnay straight from the vine.
I’ve got Dylan in my head and Margaux on my mind. 
So when we’re done picking fruit you can come park your van next to mine.
I know you can’t stay forever but please stay a little bit longer.
I know you can’t stay forever but please stay a little.

On that Sunday when I saw you I thought not to let you in.
But we jumped in the river and washed away all of our sins.
Then the sun came to dry out our clothes and shone bright on your skin.
Now we can’t kiss goodbye if I’m never gonna kiss you again.

I might have passed you like a ship in the night. Instead we’re dust in the wind.
But something in me for a while needed just to pretend.
Now it’s not long that I’ve loved you but I think that we’ve come to the end.
Cause you don’t want a lover and I don’t need another friend. 
So don’t kiss me now if you’re never gonna kiss me again. 

When a bird knows it’s free you know sometimes it doesn’t return.
And you can’t start a fire and hope for it not to burn.
But it’s not really love if it’s not strong enough to let go.
I don’t want to say it but somehow I need you to know.
No, I don’t want to say it but somehow I need you

Boy, I’ve not known you long but I know you a little too well.
Cause we’re two of a kind and we never needed anyone else.
So we’ll both be fine but just remember how good this felt.
I can’t ask you to be true to me instead of true to yourself

Well, we both knew when we started together that it never could last
But we can’t let the future distract from the time that we have.
And I know time marches on but I feel ours has gone too fast.
I don’t want you forever; I need you a little bit longer.
I don’t want you forever; I need you a little

So we don’t have to speak if you don’t want to speak to me.
But I’d be lying if I told you it doesn’t hurt to see you leave.
So don’t say a thing if you have to say that you’re gonna miss me.
And don’t stand outside in the rain if you’re not gonna kiss me.

In your eyes, you know, I’ve seen our lives. I know you’ve seen it too.
So don’t you pretend that it doesn’t mean something to you. 
I’m not asking you to change. I’m just hoping maybe you have.
I don’t want you to love me. I need you to love me back.
I don’t want you to love me, I need you to love me

So we don’t have to talk if you don’t want to talk about it.
Cause I know what you’ll say by the way that you dance around it.
I don’t want your sorrys, I just need for you to be honest.
Cause we can’t avoid breaking a heart just by making a promise.

When a bird knows it’s free, you know sometimes it doesn’t return.
And you can’t start a fire and hope for it not to burn.
So don’t say a thing if you have to ask if I’m gonna miss you.
And don’t stand in the rain and expect me to stand there with you.
So don’t say a thing if you have to ask if I’m gonna miss you.
Don't stand in the rain if you’re not gonna let me...
