lyrics

I’ve had so much on my mind
I’ve been letting the past get the better of me
Of anything from the vastness of my lost life
There’s one thing that comes back, one memory
One I feel I should mention
Going all the way back to adolescence

Brian and I were standing outside
The way would if we were taking drags
Making the best of the end of the night
Talking like we’re Dirk and Max
And our life is scored by The Kinks
But we can say exactly what we think

We were waiting on his deck for my mom
To pick me up after homecoming that late
We spent all our time with our friends on the wall
As awkward freshmen then in 2008
Tolerating songs we can’t stand
None of us really wanted to dance

I told him how our friend Nicole picked me
As her partner for the last slow song
She was unpredictable, but looked so pretty
The song ended, she bolted, and the night went on
Brian speculated she had some feeling
I said maybe it was true, but I didn’t see it

But there we were in our best clothes
Untucked shirts, blowing imaginary smoke
Until my mom pulled into Brian’s driveway
And somehow, she was still wide awake
Picking me after homecoming that late
As I was, an awkward freshman then in 2008
