I was just a schoolboy
I got no place to go
Spent the afternoons alone on my kitchen floor
Oh, mommy's late from work
She's stopping at the store
Whoa-oh, oh oh
Oh, this is how it goesShe was just a schoolgirl
She thought she met a dream
Or so it seems, so it seems
I spent some summer nights
Wrapped up in her backyard
Oh, I was so in love
And then I fell apartOh, when the room stood still
Oh, when the room stood stillMake me up, Make me up
Or else I could tell you why
Make me up, Make me up
You're the reason I'm alive
This is how you remember me now
And just out the door is killing meAnd it was all so hazy
Running 'round this river town
The time we spent was here
And it can drive me crazy
Thinking 'bout that schoolboy
And how he disappearedOh, when the room stood still
Oh, when the room stood stillMake me up, Make me up
Or else I could tell you why
Make me up, Make me up
You're the reason I'm alive
This is how you remember me now
And just out the door is killing meAll my secrets wrapped around this golden crown
And buried backwards, behind my house
It's in the ground
And always wondered when
You'll come and dig it out
Oh no!Make me up, Make me up, oh
Make me up, Make me up, oh
This is how you remember me
Just out the door, you're killing meMake me up, make me up
Oh, I wish I could tell you why
Make me up, Make me up
You're the reason I'm alive
This is how you remember me now
And just out the door is killing meMake me up, make me up
Make me up, Make me up
This is how you remember me now!
This is how you remember me now!
Not nowI was just a schoolboy, I got no eh
