Lyrics

Nineteen
Is not the age of reason
I didn't have a reason
For setting 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
Finished up with high school
Headed for a state school
Wandered into you

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

But I was only nineteen

Chorus:
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

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

Chorus

I was only nineteen
