Lyrics

Four Years
By Heidi G. Wolfson
c 2010

Hey, four years it ain’t that long
Right now it feels just like a blink in the night
Hell, it took me six years to write this song
And when something takes that long, you know it might come out alright

In this short time my face has changed
My cheeks are growing branches and my teeth are sinking in
Well, let’s just pretend that we haven’t aged
And let’s just pretend we can do it all again

Except maybe this time, without drugs
And maybe this time, I will be there for you
And maybe this time I will be enough
And maybe this time, I will feel your love

Four years ain’t no big thing
I’ve done more time just waiting for a bus
I can stand on this corner till the spring
And though I may not recognize the two of us

Maybe this time, I’ll be kind
And maybe this time, I’ll be sweet
And maybe this time, you won’t be so blind
And maybe this time, you will really see me

Four years to get a degree
And it takes four years to grow a very, very small tree
And it took you four years to be free
And it takes four years until February 29th

But maybe next time, I’ll be gray
Or maybe next time, we will both be dead
Or maybe next time, we won’t even try to say
All the things that we think we never said

And maybe next time, I’ll be smart
And maybe next time, you’ll be funny
And maybe next time, I won’t guard my heart
And maybe next time, we will really meet again
