Drop out of high school for me boy

Let’s be the only two people in the world

We can pretend

That it’s the alcoholic summer of love

When we first met

And when my thoughts trail off

You can complete them

Even if it’s never what I would say

But I won’t mind

And you won’t mind

Because I can just kiss you to shut up

We might lose a little sleep

We might drink a bit too much

But never stop to quetsion…

Because nothing matters when you’re in love

And I’ll let you use my toothbrush

On those hangover mornings when we wake

You can smole all of my cigarettes

That you never plan to repay

Then, when you take my hand

In the grocery store at night

I’ll look at you in awe

I’ll look at your beautiful face

‘And this is mine’ I’ll think

And it is

And this is young love

This is the greatest kind

For this precious time while we are at our peak

We are invincible and we can fly

And we can kiss

And we can drink

And we can gloat over our magic prize

But young love fades and

The bottle will soon run dry

And we will become helpless

As I fall from your reach and you fall from mine

Each other’s outstretched arms

Taunting and sincere

Signifying the end

Of something beautiful and pure
