[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 |
|
|
|
bettys garden |
