1. Silhouettes on the Shade

I actually lived this once as a teen.

Took a walk and passed your house late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
From within the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh what a lovely couple they made

Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste in the night
I wondered why I'm not the guy whose silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide those tears in my eyes
