Youth Goes Bad

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
