SLOWLY OVER STONES

The way that I remember you is September of Two-Thousand Two
Eating waffles in the shadows of the lockers in the east wing hall
You didn't wanna suffer through our eclipse and as you wiped the syrup from your lips
You scurried off with your yellow sneakers and your rolled up overalls
Anyone with half a brain knows that real love is real pain
You just don't wanna be the one who says, “My God, it's happening again”

I'm doing my best, but the feeling's only grown
And I don't wanna sleep tonight alone, no
She said, “Give it a rest and drive slowly over stones
Sleep in one piece when you get home”

On the school bus you dropped the bomb it was the morning of your senior prom
You said you wanna go out with the boy with the jester's intentions
You just wanna have one night of fun, don't wanna end up calling nine-one-one
On account of getting all caught up in my affections infection
Anyone with half a grin has worn a frown above their chin
And you just don't wanna be the one who says, “My God, it's happening again”

I'm doing my best, but the feeling's only grown
I don't wanna sleep tonight alone, no
She said, “Give it a rest and drive slowly over stones
Sleep in one piece when you get home”

The way that I remember you, you were bending down to tie my shoe
Swearing you'd come out on Friday night to see my band
It's only hesitation's fault, that I take you with a grain of salt
Oh, it's just like you kiss my face but not wanna hold my hand
Anyone with half the nerve knows that real love is dead man's curve
And the cowards who take the backstreets, they get what they deserve

I'm doing my best, but the feeling's “overgrown”
I don't wanna sleep tonight alone, no
She said, “Give it a rest and drive slowly over stones
Sleep in one piece when you get home”
When you get home...
When you get home...
When you get home
