This song deals with themes such as manipulation in relationships and older people taking advantage of an underaged and innocent youth.
[Verse 1]
I wait for you in dusky avenues
And my skin soaked through
The tree you nailed me to
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted my heart for it's little worth
I was half your age, and I thought we were in love
Then I found your car, but it was already burnt
Your eyes stoned like stained glass windows
[Chorus]
But you had my soul
Standing in the cold
Trying to get back home
Frozen to the bone
I wanted to know
I wanted to know
[Verse 2]
We ride all night, make out in motel lights
Your touch, and your kiss
Parents needn't know of this
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted my heart, for it's little worth
I was half your age, and I thought we were in love
Then I found your car, but it was already burnt
It was covered in rust, someone got there first
[Bridge]
I was running away
Because I thought we were in love
Then I saw your eyes
[Outro]
But they said it all
Standing in the cold
Trying to get back home
Frozen to the bone
I wanted to know
Why I'm screaming in the dark
My boyfriend won't call
Standing in the cold
I wanted to know
I wanted to know
