lyrics

You did yourself proudly
You were something to behold
You were bold and I was stifled
Nevertheless we kissed I guess
Could have been for the best

When two men crept
Out from the shadows
With bats and ran us off
Down the backstreets

I missed thirteen
Calls and texts from my ex and we were
Scared they might have followed us
To Denny's

I want that to be first and not last
I want that to be future not past

You flew away from me
You wouldn't put your life on hold
And L5-S1 kept me at home
She swooped in and we fell again
Into such structured happiness
But on nights like this

I think of how those men crept
Out from the shadows
With bats and ran us off
Down the backstreets

I missed thirteen
Frantic calls from Carol and we were
Scared they might have followed us
To Denny's

I want that to be first and not last
I want that to be future not past
