She wrote my name, in her diary and today again And now I know how it feels to live behind the scenes I know how it feels to kiss into the dream, Of a girl who, likes to keep it fresh and new Behind closed doors, on chequered floors Down mahogany halls This is what she said to me This is what she said to me If you want to be with me, You've gotta leave that scene behind, And if you want to be free You've gotta push your friends aside In the modern school of urban fantasy Who's best writers include her and me We get down on our knees and pray to thee Leather-bound black diary She said David you'll always be a baby brother And you'll always be a mother's son And you'll always be somebody's favourite pupil But you will never be the man that I want This is what she said to me This is what she said to me If you want to be with me, You've gotta leave that scene behind, And if you want to be free You've gotta push your friends aside You've gotta push, push, push your friends aside Leave that scene behind Push, push, push your friends aside Leave that scene behind
