Salad Days
He’s a bad boy and a gentleman too
Thrilling me in the prime of my youth
Ride and love and bum around
Bob Dylan singing in the background
Golden hour of our desires breaks through
Take a break from the wheel and I’ll satisfy you
Young love blesses our salad days
And sunlight bares your cerulean gaze
Images of wedding bells chime
Electric pulses
Loving you on borrowed time
And when our bodies warmly embrace
We’ll cling to the naïve idea of always
But growth will sculpt us in different frames
Even if it causes growing pains
You can’t stand the thought of being alone
Even though we all dream alone
And even young dreamlike love reaches a dead zone
Fading of our connection is the elephant in the room
Lovers who don’t flow like they used to
You were so good and so bad too
We’ll be better apart as who we grow into
