There’s a low hanging sun
I think we’re running a red
I hate the thought I could have died
With you thinking I’d put this to bed
My mum says it’s bad for my health
I haven’t forgiven you yet
But god I’m bitter in the blood
So I will be when I’m dead
You took time that wasn’t yours to
Engineered an enemy
From someone who adored you
You had time enough to halt this
Despite the years between us
You were mine enough to call it
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
If only for one of us
Lisa asked down the phone
If your heart was really as bad
As the doctor was telling you then
Or if you even lied about that
I struggled to say you were honest
To let the light through the crack
I’ll never know what was real
And you’ll never need to look back
You took time that wasn’t yours to
Engineered an enemy
From someone who adored you
You had time enough to halt this
Despite the years between us
You were mine enough to call it
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
I used to kiss your head and call you soft
Now you kiss my friends
In the Gellions loft
You said I dish out shame
Like it gets me off
And they’ll forget my name
When the lights go on
I used to want to live slow by the riverbed
Now I drink to get calm
And to unforget
I try to miss you man
But it messes my head
Trying to marry your face
With the things you said
I hate that I’ll get old
Before you know your crime
And that all I’ve got is to make them rhyme
I hate your stupid bar and your hairline
Hate that you had me
Before I was even mine
I hate you close to home and far away
In that empty new place
Where you tax evade
I hate the taxi rank
And the drugs you take
I hate that everyone knows
And they’ll never say
