******[verse 1] |
betty, i wont make assumptions |
about why you switched your homeroom but |
i think its cause of me |
betty, one time i was riding on my skateboard |
when i passed your house |
its like i couldnt breathe |
|
[pre-chorus] |
you heard the rumors from inez |
you cant believe a word she says |
most times, but this time it was true |
the worst thing that i ever did |
was what i did to you |
|
[chorus] |
but if i just showed up at your party |
would you have me? |
would you want me? |
would you tell me to go fuck myself? |
or lead me to the garden? |
in the garden would you trust me |
if i told you it was just a summer thing? |
im only seventeen, i dont know anything |
but i know i miss you |
[verse 2] |
betty, i know where it all went wrong |
your favorite song was playing |
from the far side of the gym |
i was nowhere to be found |
i hate the crowds, you know that |
plus, i saw you dance with him |
|
[pre-chorus] |
you heard the rumors from inez |
you cant believe a word she says |
most times, but this time it was true |
the worst thing that i ever did |
was what i did to you |
|
[chorus] |
but if i just showed up at your party |
would you have me? |
would you want me? |
would you tell me to go fuck myself? |
or lead me to the garden? |
in the garden would you trust me |
if i told you it was just a summer thing? |
im only seventeen, i dont know anything |
but i know i miss you |
[bridge] |
i was walking home on broken cobblestones |
just thinking of you |
when she pulled up like |
a figment of my worst intentions |
she said "james, get in, lets drive" |
those days turned into nights |
slept next to her, but |
i dreamt of you all summer long |
|
[verse 3] |
betty, im here on your doorstep |
and i planned it out for weeks now |
but its finally sinkin in |
betty, right now is the last time |
i can dream about what happens when |
you see my face again |
|
[pre-chorus] |
the only thing i wanna do |
is make it up to you |
so i showed up at your party |
yeah, i showed up at your party |
|
[chorus] |
yeah, i showed up at your party |
will you have me? |
will you love me? |
will you kiss me on the porch |
in front of all your stupid friends? |
if you kiss me, will it be just like i dreamed it? |
will it patch your broken wings? |
im only seventeen, i dont know anything |
but i know i miss you |
[outro] |
standing in your cardigan |
kissin in my car again |
stopped at a streetlight |
you know i miss you |
|
