You arrive at 7:30
Short shorts and shoes are dirty
And you're a picture of swagger and style
And I'm the widest boy on the track team by mile
Take it slow 'cause I don't want to scare you
As if the speed of my words could prepare you
I guess you heard that I got into Texas
Don't know what to say, I didn't expect this
Holding hands in the back of your parents car
Flashbacks to peach fuzz, don't have any scars
Lips touch in the shape of two crescents
First kiss of our adolescence
Now I'm up on the mouth on my early morning
Our voices dressed like a warning
You say: I heard the big bad news
One of us is going to have to choose
Seems wrong [?]
Seems wrong we should just be friends
But it's like something from a teenage movie
She kisses me and it cuts right through me
Meeting after class where she can't say her last goodbyes
She looks at me apologetic
We're going to different colleges
And I can't meet her eyes and I think she knows exactly why
She says you can't hold me from a distance, lover
Lucky for you I'm a distance runner
Now we live in a state of denial
Like sure, I just didn't mean to die
But I haven't seen your face in a while
It's been ages since I rode a mile
Maybe you thought enough was enough
As if it hasn't been 28 months
Maybe we were in love
Maybe I should know better
Just like something from a teenage movie
She kisses me, it cuts right through me
Meeting after class where she can't say her last goodbyes
She looks at me apologetic
We're going to different colleges
And I can't meet her eyes and I think she knows exactly why
She says you can't hold me from a distance, lover
Lucky for you I'm a distance runner
You can't hold me from a distance, lover
Lucky for you I'm a distance runner
You can't go in for a kiss then cover
You'd be sure you're gonna miss this summer
Lucky for you I'm a distance runner
You can't go in for a kiss then cover
Someday you're going to miss this
It's like something from a teenage movie
She kisses me, it cuts right through me
Meeting after class where she can't say her last goodbyes
She looks at me apologetic
We're going to different colleges
And I can't meet her eyes
And I think she knows exactly why
She says: You can't go in for a kiss then cover
You'd be sure you're gonna miss this summer
You can't hold me from a distance, lover
Lucky for you I'm a distance runner
