lyrics
So there’s this boy with a hole in his sweater
And there was this girl who made everything better
Now his heart’s like a full red balloon
As they race to the Sunday School room
Under the train bridge asleep in the sun
With her hand in his pocket, feet covered with mud
So there’s this boy with a love like a fountain
And with his girl on his arm, to the top of a mountain
And as they looked down on the village below
Those seeds that they’d carefully sewn
Found no place on the mountain to grow
So he ties up his laces and he comes down alone
So there’s this boy with a chip on his shoulder
Runs a hand through his greying hair, he’s afraid to grow older
And every year on his birthday
He tells his family and friends go away
“Cu’s I’m happy the age that I am.”
Let this boy stay a boy, ‘cus he’s not yet a man
And there was this girl who made everything better
Now his heart’s like a full red balloon
As they race to the Sunday School room
Under the train bridge asleep in the sun
With her hand in his pocket, feet covered with mud
So there’s this boy with a love like a fountain
And with his girl on his arm, to the top of a mountain
And as they looked down on the village below
Those seeds that they’d carefully sewn
Found no place on the mountain to grow
So he ties up his laces and he comes down alone
So there’s this boy with a chip on his shoulder
Runs a hand through his greying hair, he’s afraid to grow older
And every year on his birthday
He tells his family and friends go away
“Cu’s I’m happy the age that I am.”
Let this boy stay a boy, ‘cus he’s not yet a man
