Keeps me up awake a crystal cracking
I can't wait, I can't stay a candle
Gotta change my mind before it burns out

Turns the corner at 14 and I know there's no way
It's alright, it's a lighted candle
And I'll know she'll be okay by someday

Skinny hips and big round breasts
Hanging on your wall

Tell me Joni, am I the one, to see you through?
In this broken town can you still jack in
And know what to do?
I remember our youth, our high ideals
I remember you were so uptight
That time in the trees, we broke that vice
