about

ooh, so edgy, little mouse.

lyrics

Do you remember how it felt to have a secret?
Something that was yours alone and made you smile?
When you could look around at all the ordinary people
and think, I'm nothing like you, my soul's alive.

You might touch the ring of bruises on your ankle
or savor the taste of blood on your tongue
and all those stupid ordinary people
just don't know what it's like to be young

thinking about all the things that we did in the dark
and the taste of your lips, and the marks
all over our skin when finally we came out in the sun, we came out in the sun

Now that we're older, and all is in twilight,
grey faces, in a grey world most forlorn,
these memories seem no longer precious
but as stupid as the people we once scorned

When a love will starve without its secrets
and the light of day makes it all go wrong
it means our love was simply ordinary
and we were just like other people all along

thinking about all the things that we did in the dark
and the taste of your lips, and the marks
all over our skin when we came out in the sun, we came out in the sun
