She was only seventeen
Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?
She was from a movie scene
And now she plays in my head all day

She called me up
And let me in
Couldn't feel my legs
She walked me back
Into her room
But just to see
A 1980s horror film

I, oh, I was so scared
She had the curtains down so there was no glare
She pulled up a chair, and gave me the bed
And all these crazy things went through my head

It seemed so long
I need someone
I don't know what to say
She was sitting there
I could touch her hair
But still we watched
Her 1980s horror film

Jamie
I don't know what to say to you
I feel you're always on my mind
And now that I know what I need
I'm taking the long way 'round
In my mind
It's not right
I can't help the way I feel anymore
And I need to
Ask you, Jamie, oh
Can it be that you feel this way too?

The lights were off
The mood was right
She came and laid with me
I looked into her eyes
And tried to make her mine
But then she said:
"I'm really not that into guys"
