Lyrics takes from 09.06.15 version

Traded yesterday for tomorrow
and it's all used up
it's like we're floating out to sea
a message in a plastic bottle 

oh baby, don't you, don't you
cry, cry, baby, cry
oh baby, how I love you
oh baby, don't cry 

One word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
I can't believe how tall you are now
remember, oh, one step, you looked up at me and smiled
I felt my heart bursting inside 

You could change the words on the dollar
to read "In Guns We Trust" 
it's we're living in a dream
I think the dinosaurs are waiting for us 

Oh baby, don't you, don't you
cry, cry, baby, cry
oh baby, how I love you
oh baby, don't cry 

One step, you looked up at me
I felt my heart busting inside of me
oh, one word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
I can't believe how tall you are now
remember, oh, one step, you looked up at me and smiled
I feel my heart bursting inside
it's crazy, oh, one word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
I know it's gonna be alright anyway, yeah 

We're tempting the body
and testing the mind
please don't feed the monster
deep inside you 

Oh baby, how I love you
oh baby, don't cry 

One step, you looked up at me and smiled
I feel my heart bursting inside again
I promise you I'm gonna give you my best and
I'm gonna give you the love you need to get by
I'll try anything
Oh, I'm gonna give you my best
I'm gonna give you the love, baby, that you need to get by
remember, remember
oh, one word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
and you know it's gonna be alright anyway

Traded yesterday for tomorrow
it's like we're floating out to sea
a message in a plastic bottle 

Oh baby, don't you, don't you
cry, cry, baby, cry
oh baby, how I love you
oh baby, don't cry 

One word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
I can't believe how tall you are now
remember, oh, one step, you looked up at me and smiled
I felt my heart bursting inside 

We could change the words on the dollar
to read, "In Guns We Trust" 
it's like we're living in a dream
and the dinosaur is waiting for us 

Now, oh baby, don't you, don't you
cry, cry, baby, cry
oh baby, how I love you
oh baby, don't cry 

One step and you looked up at me and smiled
I felt my heart bursting inside
oh, one word, then you talked
one step, then you walk
I can't believe how tall you are now
remember, oh, one step, you looked up at me and smiled
I felt my heart bursting inside
it's crazy, oh, one word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
and I know it's gonna be alright anyway 

Now we're tempting the body
we're testing the mind
but don't feed the hunger
deep and wide 

No, oh baby, don't you, don't you
oh baby, don't cry 

One step, you looked up at me and smiled
I feel my heart bursting inside
I promise you I'm gonna give you my best, yes
I'm gonna give you the love you need to get by, yeah
oh, I'm gonna give you my best, yes
I'm give you the love you need to get by, and I burn
oh, one word, then you talk
one step, then you walk
I know it's gonna be alright anyway
