Young Love Is Like Nothing

When the sun
Of the summer burns your neck
And the freckles
Rise and fall in formation
I glean information from your flesh
One ear pressed
Against your hot chest
As i hear your words
Rattle the cage in your breast
And i feel your breath pass your lips
Young love is like nothing
Young love is like nothing
Young love is like nothing
We should rise
Before the tide takes hold
If we make it close to maidstone
We’ve nearly made it home
But we’ve so so so very far to go
Young love is like nothing
Young love is like nothing
Young love is like nothing
With my dreaming edge sharp
And your hopeful heart smarting my eyes
We know that the world will open her arms
If i squint just right
In the fading light
I can see who you’ll be in another 20
So i open wide
And i find i’m fine
With all the rushing of time
Young love is like nothing
Young love is like nothing
Young love is like nothing
When we get in
We’ll make some tea
For you — all sweet
Just milk for me
And we’ll drink it down
Let’s drink this all down down down
Like it’s nothing
