Chegou ao número 10 no Billboard Hot100. A voz feminina ao fundo é de Suzanne Lynch. É uma resposta à American Pie, de Don McLean. Quase menciona Buddy Holly, mas não o faz, porém faz referencias.

A letra:
Oh
very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing
on this Earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss
and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy's
best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want
him to last forever
You know he never will
(You know he never
will)
And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young
What will you leave us
this time
There'll never be a better chance to change your
mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with
you
Will you ride the great white bird in together
And though
you want to last forever
You know you never will
(You know you
never will)
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
Oh very young
What will you leave us
this time
You're only dancing on this Earth for a short while
Oh
very young
What will you leave us this time
