Newspaper

歌詞

I was only twelve years old When I saw you in the newspaper You were in the police blotter for Stealing things you could afford I was just a lonely girl Who wanted to be someone special Someone neighbors talked about When they weren't drunk or bored Run away, run away, run away We could be together Run away, run away, run away with me Maybe when we're seventeen We could build ourselves a castle Somewhere by the Caspian Sea No parents would be around You could write me poetry And I could paint you watercolors We could stage our one act plays And grow old gracelessly Here we are at our reunion Why's there so much air-conditioning We small-talk in crop-circles We both feel like aliens You tell me that I look great It's great that I pursue my passion You epitomized that passion Twenty years ago (chorus) I was only twelve years ago When I saw you in the newspaper
