She

Was only seventeen

Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?



She

Was from a movie scene

And now she plays in my head all day



She called me up

And let me in

I couldn't feel my legs



She walked me back

Into her room

But just to see

A 1980s horror film



I

Oh, I was so scared

She had the curtains down

So there was no glare



She pulled up a chair

And gave me the bed

And all these crazy things

Went through my head



It seems so long

I need someone

I don't know what to say



She was sitting there

I could touch her hair

But still we watched

A 1980s horror film



Jamie

I don't know what to say to you

I feel

You're always on my mind



And now that I know what I need

I'm taking the long way round in my mind

It's not right



I can't help the way I feel anymore

And I need to ask you, Jamie:

Oh, can it be that you feel this way, too?



The lights were off

The mood was right

She came and laid with me



I looked into her eyes

Tried to make her mine

But then she said

"I'm really not that into guys."
