My Summer Story

I was trying to get away from someone
So my bestie picked me up
he said we were going to see a friend
but I didn't know who it was.
So we drove to Little Washington,
and I wasn't expecting much.

When we got there
you were walking outside
and the first thing I noticed
was your unique and beautiful eyes.

I was shy at first
and a little scared too.
I didn't know what to say
or what to do.

Usually I am confident
in these situations
but you caught me off guard
and I lost all concentration.

I was told before we got there
that you were already taken
but when I actually met you
I hoped that I was mistaken.

Gordie warned me about what I was getting into
But I didn't listen
I figured
what could happen that I hadn't already been through?

He knew I had just gotten out of a bad relationship
and he didn't want me to get hurt.
But I figured,
What's the worst that could happen, if I was to flirt?

In the back of my mind
I knew we wouldn't work out.
Not now anyways
cause we live so far apart
I didn't figure this at the start.

I guess things would be different
if I lived up there
or if you lived down here.
I'm cool with being friends.
I'm just glad we're something
cause that's way better than nothing.

But I will never forget your uncle
how he threatened to call the police
cause he thought we stole that gun
that he had actually misplaced.

But most of all
I will never forget that summer
cause that summer
was the summer
that I met
you.
