lyrics

First day of school she walked in late and took a seat
And the teacher’s words turned meaningless,
drowned out by my heartbeat
Some kind of crazy hunger took control
But I was much too small to understand what I was hungry for
Then the kissing came, and the fireworks and tears
And we swore romantic promises much bigger than our years
We knew all about the future, and those fools we’d never be,
But we didn’t know much about love

I saw her singing at the Fleur de Lis
And her voice tore through my heart just like a childhood memory
She sang straight to me like she knew me well
And that night went on forever back at her cheap hotel
Then we sang down every road and every town
And we drank and loved and battled ‘til it all came crashing down
We knew Your Cheatin’ Heart, and that waltz from Tennessee
But we didn’t know much about love

The ancients had some wise things to say
But the wisest one was Help me Lord, ‘cause I can’t find my way
Now we pray into the wild and open blue
But we’re much too small to understand just who we’re praying to
So we hold on to each other in the night
And hope before the bell tolls we’ll learn to get it right
And we’re still down here waiting for those answers from above
But we still don’t know much about love
We keep searching, but we still don’t know much about love.
