Lyrics

My first stroke of luck, when some chewing gum stuck in your hair
And I got it all out
I was famous, for that lunchtime at least

The look on your face made my chest swell with pride
I was convinced I was in
Then you smiled, that sucker punch knocked me out

What a feeling it was to be sure I was yours
Just believing that we didn?t want any more.

Running down Rose Street, chased by a crowd
Cursing my white slip on shoes
But I saved you, like you rescued me too

You introduced me, to Marvin & Tammi
I showed you smoke rings and rock
We could stay up, every night just to talk

What a feeling it was to be sure I was yours
So relieved that we weren?t alone anymore

Drinking our cocktails from Sodastream bottles
Sitting up on Blackford Hill
Had to hide them
I think they might be there still

Sharing a Walkman under the stars,
Songs that we taped off the charts.
Wires tangled, when the time came to part

I still have a picture, it?s us on the hill
As we shiver in our winter coats
You are smiling, I?m just staring at you

What a feeling it was to be sure I was yours
Just believing that we didn?t want any more.

No, I did not mind, I had to explain myself every night
