Teenage Love

There's a low hanging sun I think we're running a red I hate the thought I could have died With you thinking I'd put this to bed My mum says it's bad for my health I haven't forgiven you yet But god I'm bitter in the blood So I will be when I'm dead You took time that wasn't yours to Engineered an enemy From someone who adored you You had time enough to halt this Despite the years between us You were mine enough to call it Call it what it was It was teenage love Call it what it was It was teenage love If only for one of us Lisa asked down the phone If your heart was really as bad As the doctor was telling you then Or if you even lied about that I struggled to say you were honest To let the light through the crack I'll never know what was real And you'll never need to look back You took time that wasn't yours to Engineered an enemy From someone who adored you You had time enough to halt this Despite the years between us You were mine enough to call it Call it what it was It was teenage love Call it what it was It was teenage love I used to kiss your head and call you soft Now you kiss my friends In the Gellions loft You said I dish out shame Like it gets me off And they'll forget my name When the lights go on I used to want to live slow by the riverbed Now I drink to get calm And to unforget I try to miss you man But it messes my head Trying to marry your face With the things you said I hate that I'll get old Before you know your crime And that all I've got is to make them rhyme I hate your stupid bar and your hairline Hate that you had me Before I was even mine I hate you close to home and far away In that empty new place Where you tax evade I hate the taxi rank And the drugs you take I hate that everyone knows And they'll never say
