AWOL

I touched your hand you touched my heart,
you kissed my lips I fell apart
couldn't have been better than it seemed
back when we were seventeen

But I went absent without leave
it's gone so fast I can't believe
blink of an eye I'm twentythree

I'm home again six years have passed
Can't remember when I truly saw you last
couldn't have been harder than it seemed
back when we were seventeen

But I went absent without leave
it's gone so fast I can't believe
blink of an eye I'm twentythree

We've a house and a car but we haven't come that far really,
my head was my home and I was always alone there baby,
so I backed off, knew you were hacked off but I was too afraid to trust
Now I see you with new eyes, I'm truly surprised to find we're still Us.
Guess it wasn't so bad when we were seventeen

But I went absent without leave
it's gone so fast I can't believe
blink of an eye I'm twentythree
