Lyrics
He was just a boy about sixteen or so
Looking out his window to the world outside
She was the girl nextdoor
Seems like just last week, a skinny tomboy
Now she was changing
Faster than the rolling tides
Caught in the crossfire
Between children's play and grown up themes
Like a gem so precious, still in the rough
Their love was uncut and pristine
And it was alright
Just like it should be
The days flew by like raindrops
Driven by the summer breeze
They learned the silent language of a lover's eyes
They felt desire's shapely form
Secure it's grip, soft and warm
Till passion burned so hot as to ignite
It was the right time
So he borrowed a car and they got away clean
And there, stripped of all pretense
They made the scene
Like a heart gone wild
Like a runaway freight car dream
Like a midnight storm raging reckless and bold
Makes no apologies
Like a fire in the night
Like a blizzard with a streak of mean
Like a ballet dancer gone astray
To suites as yet unseen
Ten years have gone by in the blink of an eye
But it seems like yesterday
First love hot summer back seat cruise
Letting nothing get in the way
Well I think of that girl from time to time
And wonder if she's doing fine
I'll get no second chance
To say the things I missed
That's the way it goes
But if I did, I'd say Baby
Nothing ever felt more real
I'd say Baby
You know you still make me feel
