Back when we were younger our love colored everything rose
We could find hidden treasures from the trash that everyone throws
But now instead of hidden diamonds we know it's just broken glass
And road rage comes fast and often, so you'd best clear my path

Now we have reached a point where we yell for kids to get off our lawn
My tolerance for fools has dropped past the point of dead and gone
I'm that irritating piece of sand that's turned into a pearl
You're my grumpy old man and I'm your grumpy old girl

Now I don't go on Facebook talking how our love is word
You never bring me flowers and I often flip you the bird
But you laugh at all my jokes and I bring you coffee when it's brewed
We're a comfy worn out sweater with the edges slightly chewed

Now we have reached a point where we yell for kids to get off our lawn
My tolerance for fools has dropped past the point of dead and gone
I'm that irritating piece of sand that's turned into a pearl
You're my grumpy old man and I'm your grumpy old girl

And so today it sometimes seems like the world has gone straight to hell
There's red fighting blue and the globe's warming too, the sad stories that everyone tells
Still I look into your eyes and you take me by the hand
The whole world seems better, we're stronger together, and the troubles we can withstand

Now we have reached a point where we yell for kids to get off our lawn
My tolerance for fools has dropped past the point of dead and gone
I'm that irritating piece of sand that's turned into a pearl
You're my grumpy old man and I'm your grumpy old girl
