I don’t like your honesty
When you say it’s clear to see
That by now our teenage days are over, over.

I still see you standing there
In your boots with rumpled hair
Listening to ‘The Verve’ when school was over, over.

You’ll bring me flowers as long as I live
And I’ll share these hours with you as a gift
But let’s keep it simple
Let’s not make love
Not like two lovebirds trying too hard
Trying just too hard

Some lost their virginity
Hiding undressed in the fields
And we knew that purity was over, over.

You warned me about the boys
That were not able to make a choice
You’ve always held my hand when it was over, over.

You’ll bring me flowers as long as I live
And I’ll share these hours with you as a gift
But let’s keep it simple
Honey, let’s not make love
Not like two lovebirds trying too hard
Trying just too hard

Let’s keep it simple
Let’s not make love
Not like two lovebirds trying too hard
Trying just too hard

I don’t like your honesty
When you say it’s clear to see
That by now our teenage days are over, over.
