This city depresses me But you try to be everything I need We sat on the corner kissing each other Felt like I could finally see in colour I was eighteen when I met you Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth I finally felt like I could feel for the first time When I met you Everybody passed us by With the same conversation time after time I could stay by your side all night Baby, it's just you and me and that's fine I was eighteen when I met you Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth I finally felt like I could feel for the first time When I met you I was eighteen when I met you Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth I finally felt like I could feel for the first time I was eighteen when I met you Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth I finally felt like I could feel for the first time When I met you
