I Met Someone

I met someone, she's 22
She's probably got a boyfriend too but
Maybe I'll get lucky just this once

Just one hunny's crossed my mind
Since I have crossed the great divide and
She really wasn't all that much

And I would try to say
Some of this honesty
If I thought that you would heed it
Or that you really need it
But if you don't, can I please write it down
And sing my love out loud?

I've been pretty loose with cash
And I'm waiting for the aftermath but
Everything so far has felt okay

I spent it all on cigs and shoes
And I might get my first tattoo
Do all yours mean something to you?

And I would try to say
Some of this honesty
If I thought that you would heed it
Or that you really need it
But if you don't, can I please write it down
And sing my love out loud?

All the good dreams, they make me feel so sad
I feel it in the morning when I wake up in my bed
And I whimper and I whisper "dreams come back!"
But they run as quick as you do at the end of every class

I met someone before I left
And lord it scares me half to death
The way I've thought about her for so long

Just one meeting of the hands
And I could tell we're more than friends but
She moved and I did too

So here I sit with all my worries
While everyone I know just hurries to
Settle down and settle in

But underneath my silly stanzas
Is my desire to take some chances
Ooh

And I would try to say
Some of this honesty
If I thought that they would heed it
All of the girls I plead with
But since they don't, I'll write 'em down
And I'll sing my love out loud
I'll sing my love out loud
