later afterwork

So

 

She was a rich girl

Staring out a window

Like any other girl

Staring from a window

And so you can't forget your first love

What makes you different

He's a man in a office 

Behind a desk

Staring at a girl

In an office

Behind a desk

Her long legs

He's not so different

The difference is he's you

And new rules apply

Your making eyes

And breathing in as she walks by

Forget the friends who let you down

Forget the promises of this dirty little town

And forget the doubts you have inside

Find yourself falling for some teenage suicide

Forget this girl who's barely twenty

She knows it all but her heart is empty

Forget the friends who let you down

And forget the promises of a dirty little town

Forget

Forget

Forget

This dirty little town

And it doesn't really matter 

What you caught on film

And it doesn't really matter 

What you caught on film

So

It's the morning

She's sitting outlined in the sunshine

The edge of the bed

She knows this shape is etched into my mind

Stays with me for a lifetime

So 

She was a rich girl

(He was a rich man)

Staring out a window

(Falling from a window)

Like any other girl

(Like any other man)

Staring from a window

(Falling from a window)

So you can't forget your first love

What makes you different

You're not so different

Forget the friends who let you down

Forget the promises of this dirty little town

And forget the doubts you have inside

Find yourself falling for some teenage suicide

Forget this girl who's barely twenty

She knows it all but her heart is empty

Forget the friends who've let you down

And forget the promises of a dirty little town

Forget

Forget

This dirty little town

 

Cars pass

Ashes glow

We watch light chasing shadow

We watch light chasing shadow

We watch light chasing shadow

The difference is he's you

And new rules apply
