1980s Summer Breakup Lyrics

A THOUSAND WORDS
CAPTURED IN A PHOTOGRAPH
OF ME AND YOU
PLAYING HOOKEY IN THE GRASS
SO HARD TO BREATHE
THE WAY YOU MADE ME LAUGH
THE SUMMER SCHOOL
STARTED ALL RIGHT, YEAH
SEEMED LIKE YOU WOULD BE
THE ONLY ONE FOR ME
AND SEEMED LIKE I WAS TOO
THE ONLY ONE FOR YOU

AND WHEN WE WERE ALONE
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I OWNED
AND EVERY LITTLE BIT OF ME
TINGLED EXCITEDLY
OOH THIS THING IS SO RIGHT
WAS EXACTLY WHAT IT FELT LIKE
HOW COULD IT GO WRONG?
NOW THAT SUMMER'S GONE!

NOW PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME
THAT LOVE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND
LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ITS HARD TO FIND
AND THAT'S WHY I'M NOT CHANGING MINE
NOW PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME
THAT LOVE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND
THEY DON'T KNOW ITS HARD TO FIND
THAT'S WHY I'M NOT CHANGING MINE

YESTERDAY
I CALLED YOU UP
THE SEVENTH TRY
AND I'M STILL OUTTA LUCK
YOUR NUMBER CHANGED
AND I GUESS SO DID YOU, YEAH YEAH YEAH
BUT I'M NOT THE SAME LITTLE
HELPLESS FLOWER UNBLOOMING
THAT YOU FIRST DISCOVERED
CUZ NOW I DO BELIEVE
THAT INSIDE OF ME
I HAVE BECOME FREE
WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE, I SMILE YEAH CUZ....
CUZ NOW THAT I'M ON MY OWN
I KNOW WHO I AM AND SO
EVERY LITTLE BIT OF ME
TINGLES EXCITEDLY
OOH THIS THING IS SO RIGHT
IS EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
I'LL TAKE MY WINGS AND SOAR
NOW THAT'S SUMMER'S GONE!

NOW PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME
THAT LOVE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND
LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ITS HARD TO FIND
AND THAT'S WHY I'M NOT CHANGING MINE

NOW PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME
THAT LOVE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND
THEY DON'T KNOW ITS HARD TO FIND
THAT'S WHY I'M NOT CHANGING MINE
