lyrics

you know I'll Live to be 19 forever
the careless harmless flirting
fretting for an uncaring world
19 I may be too young
but then again I've always been too young

you say I've got so much growing up to do
well I say never
You know I never wanted to
and you say maybe just an inch or two
and I say never, you know that I will never do.

you know we all were artists
so careful with our eyes
you know we all were Lovers
so careless with our hearts

you know I Love to watch you sleep
it's flattering to see you spill yourself
so near to me
and I lean in
I Love to watch you sway,
though you sway away from me
it's flattering just to be here

morning marches in
the bedside clock is kicking in my head
with every tock
we do not talk
and as the morning sun leaps up
oh so high
I will be the one
to leave your lips untouched

you know we all were artists
so careful with our eyes
you know we all were Lovers
so careless with our hearts
you know I was never harmless
and you were never wrong
but I was never heartless
and I never meant no harm

some days I don't plan to see 29
the careless harmless flirting
leads to harm
too old maybe
but then again baby
it's better than being too young

you know your dance was torture
with every twisting left I was left right out
I Love to breathe you in as you breathe out
but your breathing's burning in you
it was the only thing ever burning in you

you know we all were artists
so careful with our eyes
you know we all were Lovers
so careless with our hearts
you know we all were artists
so careless with our hearts lets
not romanticize
we were careless with our thighs
and no I was never harmless
and you were never wrong
no you were never wrong
with your good byes.
