No I never knew you

We both went to different schools

Me so scared of the rules

You chasing all the girls



But it seems to me

We never grew up we just got ourselves free

Inventing what we could be

To buy all their curls



Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones that are gone in the shortest while



She was just eighteen she collapsed

And they took her away

She didn’t make it for more than an hour

Then she was gone



What do you say?

When someone’s been taken that way

Before they’ve had a day to fly in the sun



Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones that are gone in the shortest while



Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones who are gone in the shortest while



I’ll sing my sorrow

I’ll sing my sorrow

I’ll sing my sorrow

I’ll sing my sorrow



No I never knew you

We both ended up as different fools

Me so scared of the rules

You chasing all the girls



But it seems to me

We never grew up we just got ourselves free

Inventing what we could be

To buy all their curls



Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones that are gone in the shortest while



Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones who are gone in the shortest while



I’ll sing my sorrow
