Mother don't like the looks of me, and your father swore we'd never see the light of day I learned to speak, but I never knew to listen I'm a lot like you Oh no I know we can make it through the edge of night and earn the summer I'm a lot like you Oh yeah I think we can make it through The dead of night can pull you under You don't age my heart We can pretend that time ain't moving Oh I've been thinkin' about the world I can't tell you a single word about it Oh I've been thinkin' about my life I can't tick further into time about it I had you thinking thoughts that don't belong to you, handed down from the lips of better men - better than me
