Looking Back – Dan Hill – letras

Looking back at public schoolReading playboy magazineInsisting that the articlesWere the only things we’d readThinking then that love was meant toConquerAnd if a girl said she liked youThen you’d bonk herDon’t try to lay that mush on meLooking back a high schoolGetting drunk for the local danceLonely boys – nervous girlsGrappling with romanceThinking then that loveMeant something frighteningA sudden end as brutalAs bolts of lighteningDon’t know what it was, but it scared meChorus:From one night stands to wedding bandsTo struggling to stay freeWatching time move fasterAs hold on helplesslyAs love smoulders waiting to be tamedWe grow older staying much the sameLooking back a college lifeSeemed like such a compromiseUnsure of my directionUsing brains as my disguiseThinking then that love meant torememberYou only felt its warmthWhen you surrendereddon’t know what it was, but it scared me
