I Think We're Alone Now

(album: Wires + Cords - 1997)

"Children behave"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play"
They don't understand and so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say
"I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now"
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way we gotta' hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say if they ever knew?
And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say
"I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now"
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
