Memphis - For Anyone Eighteen lyrics

rate me

All of the girls hoping for better things

She didn’t care; she was unaware

All that she wanted was there in the backyard

Blue sky, balloons in the afternoons

Here in the dark, she feels her first heartbeat

She throws back the shade to the sunshine

Nothing could stop him from moving closer

He turns to a clock as their legs entwine

All of the boys waiting for something

He didn’t wait; he took everything

His face like a child’s, his hands like an old man’s

He sang all the time and he couldn’t sing

Here in the dark, he wants to forget her

Run to the rooftop and fly away

She covers his eyes and tells him to make a wish

He laughs, but it ends in a sigh

He laughs, but it ends in a sigh

He laughs

But it ends

In a sigh
