Thinking About You Lyrics
You were a hard faced kid
That was new on the block
And a lone life force
That nobody could stop
You had a mind of black and gold
And every shade in between
You were a paper back boy
With a slate so clean
So come on
So come on
You were my heart shaped queen
On your way to school
You were a paper back girl
Back before it was cool
You were a bird shot down
With you feathers all red
With your face turned up
And your arms outstreched
Now come on
Now come on
That was new on the block
And a lone life force
That nobody could stop
And every shade in between
You were a paper back boy
With a slate so clean
So come on
On your way to school
You were a paper back girl
Back before it was cool
With you feathers all red
With your face turned up
And your arms outstreched
Now come on

Just my thoughts, they might be completely wrong. After all nobody really knows what a song is about except the writer himself. xx
