And invitations to teenage parties

From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said: "We were never (2)______________ bored"

We had too much time to (3)________ for ourselves
And we were never being boring

And we were never holding back

In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be

We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, (10)________ thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that
Looking back you could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
