Going Away To College

"Please take me by the hand, it's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed, I won't turn out the light
Just don't forget to think about me and I won't forget you
I'll write you once a week," she said

Why does it feel the same to fall in love or break it off?
And if young love is just a game then I must have missed the kick-off
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on
Anything but I'd go through hell for you

And I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful to me

I think about the times she kissed me after class
And she put up with my friends, I acted like an ass
I ditched my lecture to watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful
