I watered the flowers which bloomed for the first time
We bought them together one bright afternoon
No thought for the world, no tears in our eyes
Knowing the things only young people do

All the things i wanted
but couldn't ever have- I
never asked why
Bought you diamonds and other precious things,
didn't I?
I carved your name into my thigh

Don't we get carried away.. with memories that ruin today.
Don’t we get carried away
Away, we get carried away.

We drank all the liquor and kissed as the sun rose.
Putting our cigarettes out on the wall
Later we drove up the hills to the graveyard
Taking dumb pictures so deathly hungover

I'm amazed that my organs could go that far
There were times that i broke down and cried in the car
I didn't even care if anyone saw

Don't we get carried away?
By memories that seem better today.
Don’t we get carried away?
On the crest of a sunlit wave

Hush little child, dont you cry anymore
I'll take you to buy a new doll at the store
Stop by the druggist and pick up my medicine
And smell the old sick who wait in the line

Doesn’t it? And wasn’t it?
And couldn’t it have been?
And there’s no patent on love
And love doesn’t win
when it’s swept in the garbage bin

Don't let’s get carried away?
With memories that ruin today
Don’t lets get carried away
Away, we get carried away
