Left for the Summer

I knew him 63 days We'd been together for five But he was never one to be afraid to speak his mind He told me that he loved me that drive Taking me home for the summer That we'd spend apart each night He said he loved the way I kissed him We started out over long distance, I tried so hard to make sense of it The way my heart was feeling things without my permission It's funny now to talk about those first days When we couldn't hang out because of your roommate You asked him how he'd feel about you taking me out on a date We went to the sunset but we didn't watch it Too busy talking with our hands on each other It was clear to me then that we were in trouble You said I'm the only girl that you'd called baby I said you're the first guy that I let taste me I don't even know what we were really saying I had one hand in your hair and one on your chest You looked at me and said you didn't want nobody else I said don't say it if you don't mean it I knew on the day you picked me up from the airport In your ripped blue jeans and your dark, black t-shirt You were someone that I actually cared for We were both young, but you were younger Something that I often even forgot of Must have been the way you talked to my father Or maybe what you said when you left for the summer
