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
A bouquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world's an ugly place
But you're so
Beautiful to me

I think about the times
Se kissed me after class and
She put up with my friends
I acted like an ass

I ditched 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
A bouquet of clumsy words
A simple melody,
This world's an ugly place
But you're so beautiful
