Going Away To College

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

[Chorus:]

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'll think about the times

She kissed me after class

And she put up with my friends

I acted like an ass

I'd ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer

Is my picture still hanging in her locker?

[Chorus x2]
