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
