I saw you standing right over there
you had your coach shoes on
tie dye marley shirt to turn all the stoner boys on
you were so innocent with that flower in your hair
it was the first day of the rest of your life
your parents there to send you away
you wanted to go ivy league
but its something your dad couldn't afford
so you took the next best and went up north
this little bitty town in the middle of corn
i saw you standing there on the faithful day
right as your parents starting pulling away
you took out a cigarette only to see my flame
then you said go and sit right down
go ahead and tell me your name


So i sat right down
and starting singing a song
i think it mighta been hakuna matata
ya its been so long
i blew smoke in your face
and you know what that means
You know i wanted you but i couldn't contend
your just outta my league
but i didn't care at the time
you were just what i needed in my time of pain
i started dating you for a year and a half now
it was kinda like living the dream
you were just the girl for me
but little did i know there was something lost in the seem


Its been 2 years now
were just one in the same
we were driving right around
smoking the strong
we were driving right around
ya singing my songs
you had something to tell me
i could see it in your eyes
i made you go out and tell me
for it will change our lives
you said you may be gay
so what should i say
this little world that i created
just burning in flames
You know i love you baby girl
but you don't have to stay
i love you enough to let you go walk right away
Look at the happiness just fade away
we sat on my bed and cried all day
you say you'll always love me
and have a place in your heart
then you got in your car
and started driving away

It was the first day of school
and you saw your old life fading away
everything you see is just killing the flame
its a brand new day
now that your on your own
you don't know what your in for
and thats the thrill of the game
