lyrics

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.

"Once a week," she said.

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 kickoff.
Don't depend on me,
To ever follow through on anything,
But I'd go through hell for you.

And 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.

And I'll think about the times,
You kissed me after class,
And you put up with my friends.
I acted like an ass.
I ditched my lecture,
To watch the girls play soccer.
Is my picture, still hanging in your locker?

And 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...
