Teenage Love lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a low-hanging sun
I think we're running a red
I hate the thought I could've died with you
Thinking I'd put this to bed
My mum says it's bad for my health
I haven't forgiven you yet
But God, I'm bitter in the blood
So I will be when I'm dead

[Chorus]
You took time that wasn't yours to
Engineered an enemy
From someone who adored you
You had time enough to halt this
Despite the years between us
You were mine enough to call it
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
If only for one of us

[Verse 2]
Lisa asked down the phone
If your heart was really as bad
As the doctor was telling you then
Or if you even lied about that
I hated to say you were honest
And let some light through the cracks
I'll never know what was real
And you'll never need to look back
[Pre-Chorus]
It's fitting I guess
I didn't know it existed
The thing in your chest
I always thought you were missing
Is gonna take us both down

[Chorus]
You took time that wasn't yours to
Engineered an enemy
From someone who adored you
You had time enough to halt this
Despite the years between us
You were mine enough to call it
Call it what it was
It was teenage love
Call it what it was
It was teenage love

[Outro]
I used to kiss your head and call you soft
Now you kiss my friends in the Gellions loft
You said I dish out shame like it gets me off
And they'll forget my name when the lights go on
I used to wanna live slow by the riverbed
Now I drink to get calm and to un-forget
I tried to miss you, man, but it messes my head
Trying to marry your face with the things you said
I hate that I'll get old before you know your crime
And then all I've got is to make them rhyme
I hate your stupid bar and your hairline
Hate that you had me before I was even mine
I hate you close to home and far away
In that empty new place where you tax evade
I hate the taxi rank and the drugs you take
I hate that everyone knows and they'll never say
