17 on Chadney St

I'm 17 on Chadney Street
The city street light on your cheeks
Paint them red like cherry wine
Behind my ear you'd sing to me
Our fingertips locked on the keys
My piano's rusted wires
That melody goes on for miles
Baby I'll sing for someone else and your loving eyes will wander
Promise me you'll play pretend
If I love someone else
If you meet somebody's father
Promise you won't make amends with me, your scheming alibi
I'm 17 on Chadney Street
I'm 17 on Chadney Street
Your gifted locket clung to me
My neck still green after all this time
Your birthday letter sent from me
You're still a kid at 23
I signed them "love, your alibi"
Baby I'll sing for someone else and your loving eyes will wander
Promise me you'll play pretend
If I love someone else
If you meet somebody's father
Promise you won't make amends with me, your scheming alibi
I'm 17 on Chadney Street
Just like summer you faded off with me
Autumn you're falling with the leaves
And December we first made the pact for life
Just like summer you faded off with me
Autumn you're falling with the leaves
And December I first knew that you would lie
I'm 17 on Chadney Street
The city street light on your cheeks
Paint them red like cherry wine
