[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
