The Boy Never Stays

He's the first taste of something you shouldn't haveHe's the first lie you tell to your mom and dadHe's the reason you love the smell of Polo and peppermintHe's the lips that taught you how to kissHe's the reason you know how to drive a stickHe's the last time you ever felt innocent[Chorus]It's the scene from a Saturday matineeIt's the song that remembers those summer daysEven if that cowboy rides away real slowThe boy never staysAnd the love never goesHe's the reason ferris wheels make you sadHe's a box full of taped of photographsHe's the feeling that always feels likeSeventeenHe's a name that you'll hardly ever hearHe's a face that you haven't seen in yearsThat you'll meet up once in a whileIn your dreams[Repeat Chorus]You never fall quite the same againAfter the first timeForever ends[Repeat Chorus]Oh the love never goesHe's the first taste of something you shouldn't haveHe's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
