Tommy and Nathan were just two inseparable boys

Fond of rebellion and heresy and other noise

They lived in a room in a school in the country somewhere

Without a care

Tommy liked smoking and laughing and messing around

Nathan liked sitting and reading, not making a sound

They loved each other like healthy teenagers should love someone else

Not like brothers but like lovers

They had been told all their lives that these feelings were wrong

They didn't dare tell each other the truth for so long

But with every second it became less easy to bear

Taking this care

They could hide plenty of things from their teachers at school

They hardly ever got caught and they broke every rule

But hiding something from each other was harder to do so well

Brushing hands, a blushing manner

What's the matter? What's the matter?

What kind of world do we live in

Where two people can't tell each other they've fallen in love

'Cause of what all the others would say, what they'd do, the exclusion

The pain and the suffering, isn't it tough

That those one out of ten have to suffer

While everyone else can enjoy their free fucking in public

Why is it that even in this day and age they're victim

They can't just say "I love you"

I love you

I love you

I love you

It came out eventually, they both knew that it would

It stumbled and fast and the consequences weren't good

Loving each other for sixty small seconds alone

Opposite sides of a big room

Nathan said "We'll never see each other again"

Maybe they will, maybe someday, but God who knows when
