My favorite things are tired and worn A dog-eared book with the cover torn But when I see you it's like the very first day There are some things you don't want to fade Still in mint condition, mint condition Like when we were two kids just hopin' and wishin' That this life that we see ain't no apparition So we keep our love in mint condition You can hide love away in a trunk or a box You can throw out the keys once you lock all the locks But some things will last and some things they won't But nothing about you ever gets old Our bodies, they age, wrinkle, and tire The feeling of comfort overtakes desire I may have to learn to live here alone But I'll love you through ash or through stone
