betty - the long pond studio sessions

Betty I won't make assumptions about

Why you switched your homeroom

But I think it's cause of me

Betty one time I was riding on my skateboard

When I passed your house

It's like I couldn't breathe

You heard the rumors from Inez

You can't 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

But if I just showed up at your party

Would you have me

Would you want me

Would you tell me to go f**k myself

Or lead me to the garden

In the garden would you trust me

If I told you it was just a summer thing

I'm only seventeen

I don't know anything

But I know I miss you

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

You heard the rumors from Inez

You can't 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

But if I just showed up at your party

Would you have me

Would you want me

Would you tell me to go f**k myself

Or lead me to the garden

In the garden would you trust me

If I told you it was just a summer thing

I'm only seventeen

I don't know anything

But I know I miss you

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 let's drive

Those days turned into nights

Slept next to her but

I dreamt of you all summer long

Betty I'm here on your doorstep

And I planned it out for weeks now

But it's finally sinking in

Betty right now is the last time

I can dream about what happens when you see my face again

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

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

I'm only seventeen

I don't know anything

But I know I miss you

Standing in your cardigan

Kissing in my car again

Stopped at a streetlight

You know I miss you
