[00:13.47]talking about their homes
[00:21.57]and the conversations continue endlessly.
[00:26.70]Technicolor boys, transistor radios
[00:42.81]blasting their treble tones
[00:47.76]and the arguments are disputed after school,
[00:56.52]in the parking lot as the teachers bend the rules.
[01:09.27]Patiently you waited for a courting boy's embrace,
[01:14.73]then everyone would know.
[01:22.65]But the letter jacket wasn't yours to own
[01:31.62]and it proves to be on temporary loan.
[01:55.68]And as they all grow older the truth will be understood,
[02:01.83]'cause we never turn out the way we thought we would.
