Lyrics

[00:28.41] Five, six, seven, eight!
[00:31.65]
[00:39.46] All the time, awake
[00:41.60] You're still on my mind
[00:43.84] But we were on our own
[00:46.07] Almost all the time
[00:47.92]
[00:48.30] And she'll step away
[00:50.46] For a second or two
[00:52.75] And I close my eyes
[00:54.95] And I think of you
[00:56.88]
[00:57.45] We were only seventeen
[00:59.86] We were holding in our screams
[01:02.00] Like we'd torn it from the pages
[01:04.12] Of some lipstick magazine
[01:06.69] And you scratch and turn
[01:09.10] And say, "let's burn ourselves up 'til we scream"
[01:13.96] Like gasoline
[01:15.49]
[01:39.52] Those tender days
[01:41.56] At your mother's house
[01:44.31] And your father would find
[01:45.73] My hand inside your blouse
[01:48.14]
[01:48.34] But they tell me that
[01:50.38] You're married now
[01:52.92] Oh my dear, I fear
[01:54.70] I can't understand how
[01:56.92]
[01:57.38] We were only seventeen
[01:59.75] We were holding back our screams
[02:01.90] Like we'd torn our lives from the pages
[02:04.24] Of some girly magazines
[02:06.64] And you scratch and turn
[02:08.32] And say, "let's burn these sheets down to the seams"
[02:13.80] Like gasoline
[02:15.60]
[02:38.70] I was only twenty one
[02:40.82] I wasn't having any fun
[02:43.26] And the words you said
[02:45.90] Tore through my head
[02:47.81] Like bullets from a gun
[02:50.18] And I shoulda just shown up and said,
[02:55.49] "Get in this car, let's run"
[02:56.99]
[02:57.22] And these years have seen
[02:57.95] So many imitations turning green
[02:59.93] Each like the last, they go right past,
[03:02.38] Like credits on a screen
[03:04.35] But your memory blazes through me
[03:06.92] Burning everything
[03:11.56] Like gasoline
[03:13.78] Like gasoline
[03:16.01] Like gasoline
