Nineteen Songtext
von Holly Hebe

And it hurts to act so cold to you
When you know I′m red hot (Red hot, red hot)
And the winter's bleeding out again
And the winter′s bleeding out again)
But I try to stem the flood
And I cut myself right at the root
I was burned into your light
Pull the curtains, rip the carpet up
Pray I make it through the night

If you told me at nineteen
We'd come crashing down at twenty-three

I'd take you to dinner
And I′d lick my plate clean


I′d drive you on home
You don't have a car
We′d say our goodbyes with my lips on yours
You'd cross the state lines
And never look back
Maybe it′s easier to think like that
Oh, it's easier to think like that

And it hurts to sit across from you

As you give it to me straight (To me straight)
You were never good at subtlety (At subtlety)
You couldn′t look me in the face

And if I meet someone new
God, I won't kiss and tell
And if he looks just like you
You know I mean it well
I forced myself back together
After you split me in two
And you won't ever get to know her
Like I do

If you told me at nineteen

We′d come crashing down at twenty-
Three (Crashing down at twenty-three)
I′d take you to dinner
And I'd lick my plate clean


I′d drive you on home
You don't have a car
We′d say our goodbyes with my lips on yours
You'd cross the state lines
And never look back
Maybe it′s easier to think like that
Oh, it's easier to think like that

I will go on like we never even happened, babe
I can treat four years as barely even anything
You never told me that you loved me on the second date
You lived a city apart and that's exactly where you stayed

If you told me at nineteen

We′d come crashing down at twenty-
Three (Crashing down at twenty-three)
I′d take you to dinner
And I'd lick my plate clean

I′d drive you on home
You don't have a car
We′d say our goodbyes with my lips on yours
You'd cross the state lines
And never look back
Maybe it′s easier to think like that
Oh, it's easier to think like that
