"Teenage Love" lyrics
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
Engineer 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
Tried to say you were honest, and
Let some light through the cracks, I'll
Never know what was real and you'll
Never need to look back
It's fitting, I guess
I didn't know it existed
The thing in your chest, I always thought you were messing
It's gonna take us both down
You took time that wasn't yours to
Engineer 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
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
Engineer 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
Tried to say you were honest, and
Let some light through the cracks, I'll
Never know what was real and you'll
Never need to look back
It's fitting, I guess
I didn't know it existed
The thing in your chest, I always thought you were messing
It's gonna take us both down
You took time that wasn't yours to
Engineer 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
