Teenage Love

Minnows dancing, chasing, tagging
Always moving together but alone
The game I watch them playing, saying
I love you, but they don't even know

They're kids, in love with being in love
Discovering feelings they've never known
The game I watch them playing, saying
Be careful, but they don't want to know

Smiling, flirting, laughing, crying
Sharing thoughts that no one else knows
The game I watch them playing, saying
Be careful, where this playing goes

Passion rising, teasing, lying
Learning things children shouldn't know
The game I watch them playing, saying
I love you, but they don't even know
