Teenage love made me insane
I know that now, I know that now
I loved you best when I loved in vain
My diaries make all that plain
But I was just a boy
I didn't know the difference between pain and joy
At 18 years a hole appears
And why it grows nobody knows
It takes a life for most to face
No pretty girl can fill that space
And I am still a boy
Learning the difference between pain and joy

Two pilots in a flaming plane
How could we touch the ground again?
I could not see for smoke
Until two hearts were broke
Those feelings crashed in like a train
Upon our lonely winter plain
And dragged us both so many miles
Away from those first summer smiles
Teenage love made me insane
I loved you best 'cause I loved in vain
