At fifteen new friends could easily be found
In an instant with a t-shirt or tattoo*
What we loved best was easy to express
The best and a few others will do
iiiii aaaa oooo uh uh
At sixteen new sex was easy to assess
The woods near high school, a parking lot
Clumsy buckles and tripped-over ankles
It's getting harder try not to get caught
iiiii aaaa oooo uh uh
Hormones on overdrive
Summer swamp melody
The boasts we'd contrive
Could have been anybody
A secret life of illusion
We weave around our reality
To hide our painful confusion
To deal with too much gravity
Our interests were not yet broadly developed
We knew what spoke to us the most
iiiii aaaa oooo uh uh
When weed was in town anybody could get it
We all knew just where to look
If anyone had it we were all getting high
We knew how to live by the Book
iiiii aaaa oooo uh uh
Teenage horizons will stretch so far
Across clear sky night-time star
Teenage horizons hold everything
The clumsy fumbling this life will bring
At seventeen some of us were older than old
At eighteen we knew who we were
Others among us took a lifetime to find
The way to be they prefer
iiiii aaaa oooo uh uh
Teenage horizons will stretch so far
Across clear sky night-time star
Teenage horizons hold everything
The fumbling dreams this life will bring
At thirteen life started getting confusing
All these things flowing through our veins
Life wasn't as simple as it'd always been
And we never went back to the rains
We never pulled back on the reins
We never cared for kings' reigns
iiiii aaaa oooo uh uh
At fourteen new friends could always be found
Instantly by t-shirts or tattoos
