We  were down at Dead  Man's Hill,  smoking vines like  cigarettes
Looking  through the trashy  mags, trying  to feel what's coming  next
You  told me of crashing  cars,  older brothers, and late  night bars
I  told you what I  feel most,  and you kept it like  a ghost forever
 Don't you  write it down, remember  this in your head
 Don't  take a picture,  remember  this in your heart
 Don't  leave a message,  talk  to me face to face
(Talk  to me face to  face) Talk to me face to face
 Lying on the bright blue jumping mat, dinner bell is ringing
 Barking dogs and model planes, and the sound of passing trains
 We watch for bonfires in the sky, on the beach in July
 Spin the bottle, steal the kiss, postcards to the one I miss forever
 The one  I miss forever
 Don't you write it down, remember this in your head
 Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart
 I'll leave a message when everything comes apart
 (Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face
 (Everything comes apart) Ahhhhhh, I'll leave a message
 When  everything comes apart
 I remember cats on fire, gasoline, a burning spiral
 Standing underneath the night, fighting back with all my might
 Empty cans and charred remains, find them in the heat of day
 On the top of Dead Man's Hill, this is what I know of shame forever
