Never Before and Never Again

Holsapple
This is the story of a mixed-up teen
What a dilemma, what a crazy scene
They had it out for the very last time
Never again, they made up their minds.
She grew her hair and it changed her style
She wanted to stay that way for a while
She took a step and she didn't fall down
And that was just fine as long as he's not around.
She got really small, hardly there at all
It took some days before she'd answer his call
And when she did, it just wouldn't sink in
Never before and never again.
Never again and never before
Could two in love try to even the score
Never be lovers before you are friends
Never before and never again.
He got a job, became immersed in books
His hair grew too and that improved his looks
He stayed out nights, sometimes parties till four
Until he had enough, never again he swore.
He took himself very seriously
He lost some friends and made some enemies
Still there were nights when he'd call out her name
Before he realized it was never again.
Never again, she cried never again
Ah, we're too far apart and the days will not end
We're too far apart and I've taken the step
I've got a home now, not a place I've just slept.
Never again and never before
Can two in love try to even the score
Oh, never be lovers before you are friends
Never before and never again
Never again
Never again.
