Jeremy Lyrics

Jeremy lyrics

We were young like the future, we were young and always wrong
We were young
like our country, learning old ways to be young
Random driving around with
you in my dilapidated car
Like Isadora Duncan II in impossibly long white
scarves 
(C): Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennesse and Jeremy 
Suddenly,
willow trees, memories of Jeremy. 
Like a Galapagos turtle we grow old and
stay that way, 
Build a nest in the sand dunes, lay our eggs and walk away

I was writing our dreams down, making maps of an unseen plane; 
and I
noticed anomalies that you'd rather not see explained. 
(C) We drove, canopy
down, in the scalding rain on the one day we were young 
The house we bought
was really a lake
Otters scampered down the halls 
There were whirlpools
in the floor and sails
You're alone and it's over 
You're alone with your
gun
You're alone
From now on you're all alone 
and you're not young
