Mars and Venus on Earth

(c) 2000 Steven Antrim

Verse 1
Can we act like we're in our twenties now?
Can we leave being 15 behind somehow?
I won't talk to you through your girlfriends
I have been there once and I have plans to not be there again
Honesty, compassion
Without it, I'm crashing

Chorus 1
I am not from Mars
And you are not from Venus
So let's stop these games between us
I am not from Mars
I've never even been to outer space
But I got close the very first time that I saw your face

Verse 2
Can we act like we're in our twenties now?
Can we leave being 15 behind somehow?
I can have you home at 9 or 10
Or we could act our age and stay out 'til the sun comes up again
Slow dancing, late talking
Without it, or I'm walking

Chorus 2
I am not from Mars
And you are not from Venus
So let's stop these games between us
I am not from Mars
I've never even been to outer space
But I get so close every time I see your face
