Tilt-a-whirl

Going back, it looks the same When feeling sick was all the rage Strips of paper, kids deranged But back then, it was different Didn't know how to act then Cause I'm always forgetting I knew I liked you, just not how Cause back then, I was different I think it's funny, I'm thinking About the time I was freaking out You called it lack of empathy I was scared, I got out I fell in love on the tilt-a-whirl Didn't know at the time that I would hurl You made a move, I was sixteen I could've been ready with a warning I could have I could have Thinking back to how it played I still wonder why you made Such an effort just for me Cause back then, you were different I find it funny, I'm dreaming About the time that I held out To think you'd go in to kiss me I was scared, I got out I fell in love on the tilt-a-whirl Didn't know at the time that I would hurl Good people, do dumb things Maybe could've been ready with a warning I'm feeling lost, not depicted in this scene Could I be wrong, did you even like me Though I shouldnt care, I just turned 20 Maybe it's the complex or the trauma from my teens I fell in love on the tilt-a-whirl Didn't know at the time that I would hurl You held my hand while I screamed I would've never been ready with a warning But it's all the same for me Maybe you were just desperate for a feeling I fell in love on the tilt-a-whirl Didn't know at the time that I'd be fine I'm fine, I'm fine I think I'm back on the tilt-a-whirl But now that I'm grown up I'll be alright Isn't life just a tilt-a-whirl? Seatbelts fastened, enjoy the ride
