Lyrics Old 97’s – Nineteen

Nineteen
Is not the age of reason
I didn’t have a reason
For settin’ you free

I’ve seen
A lot of love go sour
But that’s not our love
You see the problem was

I was only nineteen

Yeah, I was only nineteen
I finished up with high school
Headed for a state school
Wandered into you

Big screen
Kissin’ in a movie
God, you moved me around
We got seriously down

But I was only nineteen

All I ever wanted to do
Was lie around in bed with you
I was only nineteen
I was only nineteen
I was only nineteen
I was only nineteen
Watch me now

I’ve seen
A lot of love go bad now
That’s not how our affair
Would’ve wound up I swear

But I was only nineteen
