Teenager In Love Lyrics

There was a point of no return
And I never looked back 'til I was holding your hand
I was socially absurd
But who cares
Yeah I've been shaky with withdrawals
I'm a junkie loser, I never would choose to
Live the way I do
But I do

I'll be your angel
I'll be your best friend
Take me to New York
Take me to heaven

He's a teen, a Teenager In Love
He's a teen, a teenager in love
What a tragic attraction
What's the point of romance
He's a teen, a teenager in love
I'm a fool with a curse and a crush
What a magic distraction
What's the point of romance
I never wanted to be a teenager in love
Teenager, teenager

There was a point when we were cool
And it never went bad 'til you were holding his hand
And I couldn't say a word
But who cares
Now I've been talking to myself
Making up a new plan on how to get you back
It'll probably never work
And I'm screwed

I'll be your angel
I'll be your best friend
I'm in my bedroom
Let's go to heaven

He's a teen, a teenager in love
He's a teen, a teenager in love
What a tragic attraction
What's the point of romance
He's a teen, a teenager in love
I'm a fool with a curse and a crush
What a magic distraction
What's the point of romance
I never wanted to be a teenager in love
Teenager, teenager

I don't wanna go out
I just wanna sit inside my bedroom
And obsess over everything I say to you
Young love is like a roller coaster
You couldn't pay me to ride if you tried
Teenager, teenager, t-t-t-teenager

He's a teen, a teenager in love
He's a teen, a teenager in love
What a tragic attraction
What's the point of romance
He's a teen, a teenager in love
I'm a fool with a curse and a crush
What a magic distraction
What's the point of romance
I never wanted to be a teenager in love
What's the point of romance
I never wanted to be a teenager in love
What's the point of romance
Teenager, teenager
Teenager, teenager

Teenager In Love

A song musically inspired by the '50s Doo-Wop sound - specifically the Dion & The Belmonts tune of the same name - Neon Trees frontman Tyler Glenn says it is about a man he fancied for about three years. He came out as gay at age 30, shortly before the Pop Psychology album was issued. While he was in the closet, he tried to convince himself that he could be happy in a relationship with a woman, and dated a girl for two years the he intended to marry.

Glenn is part of the Mormon church, which added to his anxiety about coming out. He used the release of the album as an opportunity to talk about his sexuality and get it out in the open. Most of his friends and family were very supportive, which affirmed his decision.
