Black Picket Fence

Eyes locked and it was decided
Mouths shut but neither one minded
Colorless worlds instantly collided
She smiled but did nothing to hide it

It’s seven days of wordless kisses
It’s gold rings on cracked bronze dishes
It’s current calls on future wishes
He became set on her lifelong position

She knew he didn’t hear the cries
But nor did either hear the lies
He’d nevеr admit what he knows is true
They both keep that shinе and glow
Just like young lovers do
Just like young lovers do
Young lovers do

More distance the closer they became
She shivered but could stand a little rain
But through it all, he wouldn’t be defamed
Well, it’s not like either one could complain

It’s fury wrapped all in white
It’s a billion blinding late-night lights
It’s naivety in a chapel of plight
She didn’t hear from him all those nights

She knew he didn’t hear the cries
But nor did either hear the lies
She’d never admit what she knows is true
They both keep that shine and glow
Just like young lovers do
Just like young lovers do
Young lovers do

She dragged him around until he bled
False perfection turning easily led
Scrapbook smiles where they both fled
Instead of a vow, one of them pled

She knew he didn’t hear the cries
But nor did either hear the lies
He’d never admit what he knows is true
They both keep that shine and glow
Just like young lovers do
Just like young lovers do
Young lovers do

It’s all under wraps and under covers
Nobody has won both happiness and love
High heels on pavement follow him forever
They’ll only see when push comes to shove

A lifetime of blue nostalgia
And a second of green flames

She knew he didn’t hear the cries
But nor did either hear the lies
She’d never admit what she knows is true
They both keep that shine and glow
Just like young lovers do
Just like young lovers do
Just like young lovers do
Just like young lovers do
