Bring the funeral cart around
Teenage love is dead
See the garden like a crown
On its youthful head
If there's a shadow of a doubt
We can figure it out in the morning
(Shadows on a youthful head)
See how carelessness becomes
Half an ocean deep
Now we don't know how to speak
If there's a shadow of a doubt
We can figure it out in the morning
(Teenage love is dead)
We were running in the dark
An emotional park
But I understood
If there's a comet in the sky
Like a terrible eye on the front yard
Then they shine their eyes
Of the innocent one
(Shadows on the youthful head)
Centuries of self-defeat
Coursing through my blood
When the spirit's broken
The eyes aren't open
To what might come
For my mortal sins
And so on, I repent
For my callous insincerity
And arguments
What I'm trying to say is
The world just seems to
Scare the life out of me
If there's a shadow of a doubt
We can figure it out in the morning
(Teenage love is dead)
We were running in the dark
An emotional park
But I understood
If there's a spirit in the sky
Like a terrible eye on the front yard
Then they shine their eyes
Of the innocent one
(Shadows on the youthful head)
