Sixteen candles you forgot to light Seventeen reasons not to spend the night But you come over, we pretend That our romance didn’t end And our bodies play this stale charade And all I feel is that it’s not the same Youth goes bad I wonder what we had When we were young And doing this was fun Sad but true I do not dream of you anymore Days gone by They’ll leave you high and dry Sixteen reasons not to socialize Twenty five reasons to stay at home tonight But you go out with your friends You get sad, and then You get mad at your friends And you leave, and you want to shout Youth goes bad &c. You talk about how you feel so bored You talk about how you’re so insecure — Oh but I remember a different time When you looked at me with vivid eyes I remember waking up with you Half in love at half-past-two And if I was a mystery to you It’s all a mystery to me Sweet nothings spit against the dawn It’s really nothing once they’ve gone Sweet charles, run soft, ‘til I end my song A face dissolves if you picture it too long

Spin me round, turn me upside down Stand me on my head until my face turns red I become an acrobat when you are close Falling from the heights of rope And the bitter taste of trying to speak When the words get ground up in my teeth... It’s FUN, FUN, FUN, when you’re all alone THREE, TWO, ONE: this is how a heart explodes, again Lost and found — I’m just a ball of sound Slip and slide — getting sick inside ‘Cause I’ve been doing somersaults but she don’t see The gymnastic man in me, no I am just a lump of dark Matt-er Expanding slowly past her You WANT, WANT, WANT, who would want to fall in love? And it KILLS, KILLS, KILLS me, the things she does But isn’t it FUN, FUN, FUN, when you’re all alone? THREE, TWO, ONE, this is how a heart ex plodes a gain
