When I was...
(Fifteen) Her lash wide stare
(Sixteen) Was leading me home
(Fifteen) Her lash wide stare
(Sixteen) Was carrying me home
From the bus stops and take-aways
From the clubs and the dirt
From the girls and the booze
From the drizzle and dogs
Our lives ran out on us
When we were begging for change
Francesca
I needed you tonight
But Francesca my darling
We're not so jolly any more
We're like a boarded up house
Kids break into after school
The stuff of legends
We never talked of getting older
When I was
(Fifteen) Her lash wide stare
(Sixteen) Was leading me home
Such wide eyes,
Such bright eyes
