Intro

Verse

Forgive me my ties, connections and loose ends

This is for the eyes eyes buried in my neck

 With a promise of the future, of the uncertain I play it so sure

 Our drifting thing will someday land

Chorus

 And I could take you home

 The lights would, would twitch and blow

 And you could finally see

 The "us" that we're supposed to be

Verse

When you picture me away, It's Alfie Elkins '66

 But you didn't see my face

 When all the kids dancing brought down that place

 I was more Alvy Singer

 Each time you put me on the train I'm less and less sure you'll do it again

Don't do it again

Chorus

 'Cuz we could raise our flag

 First hem the tattered edge

 Close our eyes and be

 In love at seventeen

 (Close) Close our eyes and be (whoa)

 (Close) Close our eyes and be, be

 (Close) Close our eyes and be (whoa)

 In love

 In love at seventeen
