Old 97s - Nineteen lyrics

Nineteen

Is not the age of reason.

I didn't have a reason

For setting you free.

I've seen

A lot of love go sour.

But that's not our love.

You see the problem was

I was only nineteen.

Yeah, I was only nineteen.

Finished up with high school.

Headed for a state school.

Wandered into you.

Big screen

Kissing in a movie.

God, you moved me around.

We got seriously down.

But I was only nineteen.

Chorus:

All I ever wanted to do

Was lie around in bed with you.

I was only nineteen. I was only nineteen.

I was only nineteen. I was only nineteen.

I've seen

A lot of love go bad now.

That's not how our affair

Would've wound up I swear.

But I was only nineteen.

Chorus

I was only nineteen.
