Anything

I used to follow you and your friends
To the ice rink
The back of your skidoo made me all wet
(From snow)
You'd pat me on the head as we stole
Your dad's Chevrolet, one more time
I bought new hiking boots
So you'd think I was cool
(You didn't care, cause you never knew I was alive)

I never wanted anything
The way I wanted you, that night
My love transcended space and time
I never wanted anything
The way I wanted you, that night
My love transcended space and time
My first

You used to ride yer red and white dirt bike
I'd hold yer jacket close to my heart so tight
My mom woke me up, early and said,
"Look what yer friends did to my front yard!"
It was me and my sisters, out my window
There it was!
There, baby!
You peed my name in the snow!

I never wanted anything
The way I wanted you that night
My love transcended space and time
I never wanted anything
The way I wanted you that night
My love transcended space and time
My first

(Meet me in the school yard, after eight
Still grounded, I couldn't stay out late
Remember all the things you said
In the back of that Chevrolet
When we were only fifteen?)

My daddy moved us to a big city
Yer smiling face, I never again did see no more
I wonder how you are, and I wonder
If you think about me still
Would you guess what I'm doing?
You and yer friends
I want you to remember that you were my first
We are lucky to have something to eat

Everything happens for a reason,
And that's good to remember
'Cause the music business is really, really weird.
