We were young like the future, we were young and always wrong We were young like our country, learning old ways to be young Random driving around with you in my dilapidated car Like Isadora Duncan II in impossibly long white scarves (C): Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennesse and Jeremy Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy. Like a Galapagos turtle we grow old and stay that way, Build a nest in the sand dunes, lay our eggs and walk away I was writing our dreams down, making maps of an unseen plane; and I noticed anomalies that you'd rather not see explained. (C) We drove, canopy down, in the scalding rain on the one day we were young The house we bought was really a lake Otters scampered down the halls There were whirlpools in the floor and sails You're alone and it's over You're alone with your gun You're alone From now on you're all alone and you're not young
