It Was a Strange Time in My Life

歌詞

What have you done to my heart? The Spanish girl pointed at me and said "silencio" Making a little gesture as if switching off a radio Sliding her fingers 'cross her lips as if shutting a zipper I clearly got the message, I didn't need to ask her Making the reverse zipper 'cross my lips, opening for conversation Signaling the international sign of reckless contemplation Shrugging her shoulders and lifting up the hand that rested on her thigh Her middle finger extended until its simple message could not be denied I turned 17 and I swore to never speak a word again But then someone came along and ruined everything It was a strange time in my life People seem to think a shy personality equals gifted But if they would get to know one I'm sure that idea would have shifted Most shy people I know are extremely boring Either that or they are miserable from all the shit they've been storing I turned 17 and I swore to never speak a word again But then someone came along and ruined everything It was a strange time in my life I had a good time at the party when everyone had left I flirted with a girl in sign language 'cause she was deaf It was a strange time in my life It was a strange time in my life
