Lyrics
I’ve made so many plans
after what you said last night
I didn’t know what to do with my hands
wanted to ask if this was alright
and I pretend it’s impulsive
but you already know the truth
I just want a picture of us
so I can put it on dailybooth
now I squeeze your hand tight
after everything we did
I know this is the last night
they’ll ever think of us as kids
as we drive around and around and around
trying to escape this town
I can’t quite find the words
but you listen and get it anyway
’cause who would have thought that two nerds
would get to have their day
and I pretend it’s not a big deal
and you don’t make a fuss
but I almost let out a squeal
you changed your relationship status
now I squeeze your hand tight
after everything we did
I know this is the last night
they’ll ever think of us as kids
as we drive around and around and around
trying to escape this town
trying to escape
but we already know the truth
