lyrics

There once was a boy who said
"You only want to go where I will not take you"
But that was before we missed the bus
After we ran all the way to the stop
And later, there was that boy, saying
"I only want what I cannot take from you"
And that was when the bus went by
And we should have walked all the way home
But I ran into the night
And I could get us a lift
A friend has a car
But a real friend

Is something you don't have
Is something you can't have
Is everything you need

So I must have left him to it
Creeping down a country lane in the early hours
Hiding from the headlamps
Either running away or running towards it makes no difference
They'll always find her in the end
A bit like that boy found me
But she can stay for a little while

And that was that boy
