Going Away to College

[Verse 1: Joe Wilson]

Please take me by the hand, it's so cold out tonight

I'll put blankets on the bed, I won't turn out the light

Just don't forget to think about me and I won't forget you

"I'll write you once a week," she said

[Verse 2: Joe Wilson]

Why does it feel the same to fall in love or break it off

And if young love is just a game then I must have missed the kick off

Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything

I'd go through Hell for you and

[Chorus: Joe Wilson]

I haven't been this scared in a long time

And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine

Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody

This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful to me

[Verse 3: Joe Wilson]

I'll think about the times she kissed me after class

And she put up with my friends, I acted like an ass

I'd ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer

Is my picture still hanging in her locker?

[Chorus: Joe Wilson]

I haven't been this scared in a long time

And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine

Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody

This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful to me

I haven't been this scared in a long time

And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine

Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody

This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful to me
