Summer of ’09

I’ve made so many plans

after what you said last night,

didn’t know what to do with my hands

wanted to ask if this was alright,

and I pretend it’s impulsive

but you already know the truth,

I just want a picture of us

so I can put it on dailybooth,

now I squeeze your hand tight

after everything we did,

I know this is the last night

they’ll ever think of us as kids,

as we drive around and around

trying to escape this town,

I can’t quite find the words

but you listen and get it anyway

’cause who would’ve thought two nerds

would get to have their day too

and I pretend it’s not a big deal

and you don’t make a fuss,

but I almost let out a squeal;

you changed your relationship status,

now I squeeze your hand tight

after everything we did,

I know this is the last night

they’ll ever think of us as kids,

as we drive around and around

trying to escape this town.
