Stephin Merritt - Jeremy lyrics

[Verse 1] We were young, like the future We were young, and always wrong We were young, like our country Leaving old ways to be young Random driving around with you In my dilapidated car Like Isadora Duncan II In impossibly long white scarves [Chorus] Autumn leaves, diaries Tennessee and Jeremy Suddenly, willow trees Memories of Jeremy [Verse 2] 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 explain [Chorus] [Bridge] We drove, canopy down In the pouring rain On the one day we we young The house we bought was really a lake Otters scampered down the halls There were whirlpools in the floor And sails [Verse 3] 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
