'Twas the week before the winter And the gang was all in town You forgot but I remember Everything about it now Said you fell in love in school With a girl straight from a dream So you sat there on the playground Took too much amphetamine When you got down I was speeding like a fool Thinking I could save you Like I'm the exception to the rule ♪ I stood At the door of your place Wondering how to Get out of this headspace ♪ I ranted to a stranger At some upscale downtown bar They didn't have much to say But they looked like a moviе star But they didn't know you Hell, I don't know if I do After six yеars Of being stupid in love with you When you got down I was speeding like a fool Thinking I could save you Like I'm the exception to the rule ♪ I stood At the door of your place Wondering how to Get out of this headspace So I drove until my body gave out I was screaming out the window but no sound Was coming out You and I, we burned it to the ground
