Summer of ’09

All Caps

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.
