lyrics

I knew a girl in ninth grade
She had a lot on her plate
Sports and music and clubs
Raging parties and drugs
That's how it was in those days

I asked her out to the dance
Said it was strictly as friends
I was taking it slow
Cause what else did I know?
But she'd already made plans

With some douchebag
She knew from math class

So I went with a band geek
Who had a big crush on me
She kept on talking about band
But when we finally danced
She had like, seven left feet

I said let's get something to eat
Then I snuck out to the street
Some junior offered me pot
And though it seemed like a lot
I told him, maybe next week

Too embarrassed
To call my parents
I started walking back home yes I did

I won't make that mistake again
I'm gonna tell her how I feel
I ain't no superstitious man
But I looked up at the stars
And I swear they never lined up so straight again

She'd had a pretty rough night
Her date got into a fight
She said he got a bit drunk
And so he threw the first punch
She left without a goodbye

I said I wasn't surprised
Cause he's just that kind of guy
He doesn't care about you
Or anything that you do
To him, you're only a prize

She shrugged her shoulders
The night got colder

So I pulled her in close to me
We hit that upperclassman up for weed
Then we hung out in the park
Even though it was dark
And smoked it under some trees

I said, here's looking at you
I guess that she'd seen Casablanca too
She said, you must remember this
And well a kiss is just a kiss
But that's only half of the truth

Cause there was nothing
Absolutely nothing in this world I'd rather do.
