Sure the boy was green his heart was on the line.
Seventeen and lonely and biding his time.
Sure the boy was green his heart was on the line.
Seventeen and lonely and biding his time.
He was only a mad moonlighter, dancing by the sea,
Envying nobody chasing shadows crazy and free.
You were the cloud that covered the moon now he just can't see.
Now he's just a kid with a runaway heart,
Jumping ship to anywhere, trying to make a fresh start .
Running away from everything playing a lonely bit part.
Look at all those fresh young kids, they think they know it all,
Look at the little crazy guy, swaggering down the hall,
He could dance his way to freedom if you don't make him fall.
Now you got him all to yourself what you gonna do?
You're the one who set the trap you know it's up to you,
Call the shots, open the cage, you know he won't run through.
Torch-bearing lady see this kid, he's in love with you.
Dream-selling lady he's in need, you'd better come through.
