Disclaimer: This is obviously not all my own original work.
We were both young when I first saw you. You should take it as a compliment that I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk. I know a saw a light in you, it was enchanting to meet you. As we walked we were talking, but I didn't say half the things I wanted to.
You've got a smile that could light up this whole town. I sneak out to the garden to see you - I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home. Say you'll remember me: I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
I can see the end, as it begins. I knew you were trouble when you walked in.

You and me, we've got big reputations. You come back each time you leave. Screaming and shouting and kissing in the rain, dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light. You make me want to dance in a storm in my best dress.
I'm a nightmare dressed like a day dream. I've got a long list of ex lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. I don't like your little games.
I remember thinking, "Are we out of the woods yet?"
When you started crying, I did too. Up in your room and our slates are clean, just twin fire signs, four blue eyes.

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed. I brought a knife to a gunfight. The world moves on; another day, another drama. But not for me.
"Who is she?" I get drunk on jealousy. I'm sure she's beautiful - she wears high heels, she's cheer captain. Soon she's going to find that stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends. "I'm going to find someone, someday, who might actually treat me well."
We've had our very last kiss. We are never ever getting back together.

It's 2am and I'm cursing your name. It was so nice being friends again, but now we've got bad blood. Soon you're going to find there is nothing I do better than revenge.
Call it what you want to, I've got a boyfriend, he's older than us. He's so tall, and handsome as hell. He is sensible and so incredible. Walking with his head down, I'm the one he's walking to. He said, "Let's get out of this town."
This is a big world, that was a small town. It's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now.
