lyrics

I swore I’d never go to another party
Yet there I was out back feeling sorry
I finished my cigarette and downed my forty
Then you came outside and looked right through me

We spent that summer inside watching tv
Wasting time never seemed so easy
In your bed I couldn’t help but wonder
if I’d be the one beside you next summer

December came and it was never colder
Getting stoned with friends only made us closer
In the back of Colin’s car you leaned over
and made me swear that we would never get older

You chose to leave for college a little sooner
The airline helpline had you on hold for an hour
I know you just wanted to see the city early
but my selfish thoughts had to make this about me

From that point on things only got harder
I’d see you once a month, cherish the hour
Our love was slipping through the hands of time
You said if I’m not around I never cross your mind

I’m still not sure how I forgot your birthday
But I’m pretty certain there could have been a worse way
To exemplify that I no longer loved you
I’ve led a life of lies but that’s all true

I swore I’d never go to another party
Then someone came and looked right past me
