She always told me I had nice eyes,
So I told her they were gods apology for my ugly nose.
We never liked ourselves, but we sure liked each other,
In the deep end of her pool, hiding from her little brother.
Saying 'ooh babe, just a little longer now.
Hold your breath just a little longer now.
I'll hold yours if you hold mine.'
She told me to relax as she pulled off my pants,
On a bench outside her fathers house,
Guess this is what Rod Stewart was talking about,
When he said blondes have more fun.
When suddenly an old man with his dog,
Came into view and I said:
'Ooh babe, just a little quicker now,
Never mind him, just a little quicker now,
If he asks we'll just say you're fixing my fly with your mouth,
If we ask him nicely the dog might even help us out.'
And we lay out in the grass,
Wiping the yellow and green stains off our ass,
Our friends will call us lame,
We'll hide in your house playing video games.
And pretend that college isn't miles and miles away,
We'll pretend we're okay.
I said I think it's time that you and me had some time alone,
She said 'that's not funny' I said 'I know it wasn't a joke'.
It's not you or me, it's just a change in routine,
She turned me upside down, the day that she changed me to we.
I'm still not sure I wanted it that way,
But one by one everyone fades away.
