The Boy Never Stays Lyrics

He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
He's the reason you love the smell of Polo and peppermint
He's the lips that taught you how to kiss
He's the reason you know how to drive a stick
He's the last time you ever felt innocentIt's the scene from a Saturday matinee
It's the song that remembers those summer days
Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
The boy never stays
And the love never goesHe's the reason Ferris wheels make you sad
He's a box full of taped of photographs
He's the feeling that always feels like
Seventeen
He's a name that you'll hardly ever hear
He's a face that you haven't seen in years
That you'll meet up once in a while
In your dreamsIt's the scene from a Saturday matinee
It's the song that remembers those summer days

Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
The boy never stays
And the love never goesYou never fall quite the same again
After the first time
Forever endsIt's the scene from a Saturday matinee
It's the song that remembers those summer days
Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
The boy never stays
And the love never goesOh the love never goesHe's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
