Airborne Toxic Event - Gasoline lyrics
rate me<br>Five, six, seven, eight! <br> <br>All the time, awake <br>You're still on my mind <br>But we were on our own <br>Almost all the time <br> <br>And she'll step away <br>For a second or two <br>And I close my eyes <br>And I think of you <br> <br>We were only seventeen <br>We were holding in our screams <br>Like we'd torn it from the pages <br>Of some lipstick magazine <br>And you scratch and turn <br>And say, "let's burn ourselves up 'til we scream" <br>Like gasoline <br> <br>Those tender days <br>At your mother's house <br>And your father would find <br>My hand inside your blouse <br> <br>But they tell me that <br>You're married now <br>Oh my dear, I fear <br>I can't understand how <br> <br>We were only seventeen <br>We were holding back our screams <br>Like we'd torn our lives from the pages <br>Of some girly magazines <br>And you scratch and turn <br>And say, "let's burn these sheets down to the seams" <br>Like gasoline <br> <br>I was only twenty one <br>I wasn't having any fun <br>And the words you said <br>Tore through my head <br>Like bullets from a gun <br>And I shoulda just shown up and said, <br>"Get in this car, let's run" <br> <br>And these years have seen <br>So many imitations turning green <br>Each like the last, they go right past, <br>Like credits on a screen <br>But your memory blazes through me <br>Burning everything <br>Like gasoline <br>Like gasoline <br>Like gasoline<br>
