"WE WERE KIDS" lyrics

I was sad
I was romantic
I was taking all the drugs in the attic
And you weren't scared
The light was electric
You were saying that
Love is pedantic

And we were kids
And life was ephemeral
You still laughed at Comedy Central
Through the wires
Through the heat
Through the wires
Through the heat

And I can't figure you out
And I can't figure you out
And I can't figure you out

I was broke
You in Manhattan
Throwing stones on the ferry to Staten
And you're alone
Out on the weekend
No one knows exactly how it could happen
But we were kids
And life's an invention
You still asked your parents your questions
Through the wires
Through the heat
Through the wires
Through the heat

And I can't figure you out
And I can't figure you out
And I can't figure you out

You're driving past my apartment
I know it's not what you wanted
Broke down you're fine under cover
Grown up but I can't figure you out
Sat on the hood of your friends car
A cigarette hanging off your
Lipstick your head on my shoulder
So close but I can't figure you out

You're driving past my apartment
I know it's not what you wanted
Broke down you're fine under cover
Grown up but I can't figure you out
Sat on the hood of your friends car
A cigarette hanging off your
Lipstick your head on my shoulder
So close but I can't figure you out

You're driving past my apartment
I know it's not what you wanted
Broke down you're fine under cover
Grown up but I can't figure you out
Sat on the hood of your friends car
A cigarette hanging off your
Lipstick your head on my shoulder
So close but I can't figure you out
