Arab Strap - Deeper Lyrics

I'd been at my friends house for dinner
My mum wanted me home early
So I said I'd better go home

His sister said she was going anyway
So she could walk me some of the way
And she knew a shortcut through the woods
She had long black hair, green eyes

I wish my friends could have seen me
We seemed to get on well, on the way
Considering the age gap
She was nineteen and I was almost fifteen

She stopped by the river and asked me to go swimming
I was a bit embarrassed, I said no
But she said she would anyway
Stepped back and stripped

The sun was beginning to set
As she slipped into the water
And when she was in, she kept teasing me
So I gave in but I kept my pants on

The water was warmer than I'd expected
We swam around and played
She would push me under the water
I could feel her legs against mine underneath
She'd hold my arm, we must've been in about an hour

I got out first, I leaned against a tree
And put my trousers back on
And then she got out of the river and walked towards me

She put her hands on the tree above my head
And pushed herself against me
And leaned down and kissed me

I don't know how long it lasted
Then she stepped back and bundled up her clothes
And said, "I'm sure you can find your own way from here"
Ran back along the path

I was late home and I gave my mum some excuse
She believed it
Then the next day at school
When my friend invited me round for dinner again I said no
