Tender Tender Young Tender Lyrics

You didn't wear a costume today
And all of the ghosts and ghouls
Swarmed around you
Staring at a house you once
Were in
And your kin there too
You were a teardrop today
And when you saw that the grass didn't grow on this lawn anymore
You just couldn't stop being yourself
You said you couldn't help yourself you said
I held it in for as long I could

But from here on this street we are points on a plane
Infinitely far apart
It seems we'll never see each other ever again

And me on the other side of town
Singing because I saw someone I barely know
But could mean something to me someday
And I'm happy my friend's happy for me
And where did my dream go, a ghost you probably passed
On your way to your confirmation
Yes, you too are human
Yes, you sir are human

And her walking next to him again (renewed)
A friendship rejoiced in words and the swapping of kisses
I'm blinded by its beauty something I've always wanted
And something you might miss a love you never got to tell them
Just how much they meant to you
But thousands of miles poses a problem

So they come and they go and you find that you're here
Even when your love leaves you are never alone

But from farther away we are points on a plane
Infinitely close together
Touching each one another, and I'm right next to you
