Dan Hill - Looking Back lyrics

Looking back at public school Reading playboy magazine Insisting that the articles Were the only things we'd read Thinking then that love was meant to Conquer And if a girl said she liked you Then you'd bonk her Don't try to lay that mush on me Looking back a high school Getting drunk for the local dance Lonely boys - nervous girls Grappling with romance Thinking then that love Meant something frightening A sudden end as brutal As bolts of lightening Don't know what it was, but it scared me From one night stands to wedding bands To struggling to stay free Watching time move faster As hold on helplessly As love smolders waiting to be tamed We grow older staying much the same Looking back a college life Seemed like such a compromise Unsure of my direction Using brains as my disguise Thinking then that love meant to Remember You only felt its warmth When you surrendered Don't know what it was, but it scared me
