That Teenage Feeling Lyrics

Cover art for That Teenage Feeling lyrics by Neko Case

the comfort that she finds in her friend's... naivete let's call it... only comes after she is jaded. After her heart is like weeds grown to outlive their season. only after she has time to laugh at her regrets which are so common in her mind

this song is so wistful that it's heartbreaking. It's as if she felt that she was on the cusp of something truly special that kind of slipped away... or rather, there were too many things (mental and emotional) in the way
