lyrics

And there we were lying in a field
With the sky for a ceiling
And our hometown all sleeping,
Talking of Love and Death and Friendship and Pain,
Though I like to be near her,
I’ll never tell her again.

Because I’ve pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind,
Made a Girlfriend into a girl friend
And now I think I know that she’ll never be mine,
At least not in a physical sense.

Nobody told me that love was like school,
So while some learned by hard work, I was a fool.
She was the lesson of my adolescence –
But I might have done better had I known at the time.

Now I’ve pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind,
Made a Girlfriend into a girl friend
Because I think I know that she’ll never be mine,
At least not in a physical sense.
But Oh! How the body’s demands supersede all you learn
And turn into demands.

In love or friendship we go on, never knowing where
Or how the road could be so long, maybe we don’t care.
(Lying in a field, I’m turning a Girlfriend into girl friend.)
