I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song I�m twenty-two now, but I won�t be for long People ask me when will I grow up to understand Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill I don�t feel bad about letting you go I just feel sad about letting you know
CHORUS: I don�t want to change the world I�m not looking for a new england Are you looking for another girl
I loved the words you wrote to me But that was bloody yesterday I can�t survive on what you send Every time you need a friend
I saw two shooting stars last night I wished on them, but they were only satellites It�s wrong to wish on space hardware I wish, I wish, I wish you�d care
CHORUS
My dreams were full of strange ideas My mind was set despite the fears But other things got in the way I never asked that boy to stay
Once upon a time at home I sat beside the telephone Waiting for someone to pull me through When at last it didn�t ring, I knew it wasn�t you
