1980s Horror Film

She
Was only seventeen
Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?

She
Was from a movie scene
And now she plays in my head all day

She called me up
And let me in
I couldn’t feel my legs

She walked me back
Into her room
But just to see
A 1980s horror film

I
Oh, I was so scared
She had the curtains down
So there was no glare

She pulled up a chair
And gave me the bed
And all these crazy things
Went through my head

It seems so long
I need someone
I don’t know what to say

She was sitting there
I could touch her hair
But still we watched
A 1980s horror film

Jamie
I don’t know what to say to you
I feel
You’re always on my mind

And now that I know what I need
I’m taking the long way round in my mind
It’s not right

I can’t help the way I feel anymore
And I need to ask you, Jamie:

Oh, can it be that you feel this way, too?

The lights were off
The mood was right
She came and laid with me

(I) looked into her eyes
Tried to make her mine
But then she said
“I’m really not that into guys.”
