I was early for everything and late to change
Though I keep some photos that I don't dare look at
It was all so beautiful it couldn't last
In the flower of our lives with so much love to give
You used to call in the early morning
Make me jump out of bed
We used to squander everything away on the weekend
Almost broke
Deep down I recognise that we liked to place
To have the world against ours
I wanted to reach 18
I wanted to live forever in my own way
And you know well
Whatever begins must end
It escapes us
It was all so beautiful, it went too quickly and won't come back
And whilst a ship was leaving for Mars
You promised me you'd never forget me
But you know well
Whatever begins must end
It escapes us
Whatever begins must end
Both of us learnt, both of us learnt
Whatever begins must end
I was early for everything and late to change
