lyrics

You loved that boy
And all his cultural references
You loved the way you
Understood all the clever things he said
That you knew what he knew and he knew
What you and he could get all
Your cultural references
Where your funny thoughts have lived so long
When it got quiet
Between you and him
You thought it was love coming down
You loved that boy
And all his cultural references
You loved the way he dressed
You knew that style his dress your compliment
You knew he could appreciate your vintage style
With the flash and the bold, looking fresh not old
You and that boy you brought the bygone to today
With the verve that made others turn their heads
When it got quiet
Between you and him
You thought it was love coming down
You thought it was love coming down
So you didn’t say a word
But he’d just run out of things to say
He couldn’t think of one more thing
Though it came slow, it came as quite a blow
That sorrow that filled your leaving happiness
But just in time even if he wasn’t blind a smile
to hide behind and some cultural references
You thought it was love coming down
