about

Originally composed in 1998/1999. When I was young and naïve.

lyrics

He sits in a corner
Sipping coffee 'til it's cold
He's seventeen
And he feels old
She dances for the boys
And serves happiness by the G
She's everything she dreamed
And nothing she wanted to be

Young and fun and
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
So naïve

She asks him home, shy
But not enough to be rude
He thinks he's falling in love
She thinks she's gonna get screwed
Reality steps in
Reality steps in

Young and fun and
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
So naïve

20 odd years
Still an empty refrain
Still searching for the words
And everything changed
I rewrote the hook
For all of your songs
Our life is a movie
We were acting all along

Young and fun and
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
So naïve
