Health and Efficiency
And we ate peaches in this very place
The juice was running down your face
I poured coffee from a flask; it tasted funny
And then we tried to make love by this lake
I remember you began to shake
And I was far too scared to ask if you were coming
We bought 'H E' because we thought it was dirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine ourselves naked at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
We looked for mountaintops to climb
Just because we needed things to fill our time
We were young and free, and boy, did we abuse it
But everything was so clear-cut
And this is such a clichà but
You don't appreciate the joy until you lose it
I was jealous and mean you were fragrant and flirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine being together at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
Salud y Eficiencia
Y comimos duraznos en este mismo lugar
El jugo te corría por la cara
Serví café de un termo; sabía raro
Y luego intentamos hacer el amor junto a este lago
Recuerdo que empezaste a temblar
Y yo estaba demasiado asustado para preguntar si ibas a venir
Compramos 'S y E' porque pensamos que era sucio
Es extraño lo inocente que todo parece hoy
Intentamos imaginarnos desnudos a los treinta
Pero siempre parecía estar tan lejos
Buscábamos cimas de montañas para escalar
Solo porque necesitábamos cosas para llenar nuestro tiempo
Éramos jóvenes y libres, y vaya que abusamos de eso
Pero todo era tan claro
Y esto es tan cliché pero
No aprecias la alegría hasta que la pierdes
Yo era celoso y malo, tú eras fragante y coqueta
Es extraño lo inocente que todo parece hoy
Intentamos imaginar estar juntos a los treinta
Pero siempre parecía estar tan lejos
