Black Picket Fence Lyrics

Eyes locked and it was decided

Mouths shut but neither one minded

Colorless worlds instantly collided

She smiled but did nothing to hide it

It's seven days of wordless kisses

It's gold rings on cracked bronze dishes

It's current calls on future wishes

He became set on her lifelong position

She knew he didn't hear the cries

But nor did either hear the lies

He'd never admit what he knows is true

They both keep that shine and glow

Just like young lovers do

Just like young lovers do

Young lovers do

More distance the closer they became

She shivered but could stand a little rain

But through it all, he wouldn't be defamed

Well, it's not like either one could complain

It's fury wrapped all in white

It's a billion blinding late-night lights

It's naivety in a chapel of plight

She didn't hear from him all those nights

She knew he didn't hear the cries

But nor did either hear the lies

She'd never admit what she knows is true

They both keep that shine and glow

Just like young lovers do

Just like young lovers do

Young lovers do

She dragged him around until he bled

False perfection turning easily led

Scrapbook smiles where they both fled

Instead of a vow, one of them pled

She knew he didn't hear the cries

But nor did either hear the lies

He'd never admit what he knows is true

They both keep that shine and glow

Just like young lovers do

Just like young lovers do

Young lovers do

It's all under wraps and under covers

Nobody has won both happiness and love

High heels on pavement follow him forever

They'll only see when push comes to shove

A lifetime of blue nostalgia

And a second of green flames

She knew he didn't hear the cries

But nor did either hear the lies

She'd never admit what she knows is true

They both keep that shine and glow

Just like young lovers do

Just like young lovers do

Just like young lovers do

Just like young lovers do
