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'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?

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
