You Say You Gotta Go Home

Oh man. First semester of college. :') I wonder what she's doing now. They're now married actually.

It's only been a few months since I first met you 

But I don't know if you feel the same as I do

Sitting behind me in class,  feet on my desk

I just want to hold you afterward I must confess

It's hard to convey what to say when you try to push me away

I heard you got a friend back home

I'm sure he gives everything you want

We hung out,  you were on the phone

Missing him, your words I caught 

I wish I could make you feel the way he does

The way you smile at his words because

When we talk I can feel that spark 

You used to return them to me,  but now you want no part

I saw you've been with him for two long years

Before you and I were really shifting gears 

But now missing him,  you're brought to tears

Playing out my very worst fears

When we were in the store parking lot

You were coming on to me,  things were really hot

Now it seems we've grown apart

Much like the wind blew away that shopping cart

You say you're moving back to Missouri 

It may be selfish,  but I wish you'd just stay here with me

You say you gotta go back cause you miss him 

But I guess I'm the bad guy in this film

I want this to be my happy ending

But I guess it's the wrong message I'm sending

I'm sure you both have something beautiful

If only my empty heart could be as full

When December ends and you're back up there

Promise to remember me and know I care

I'll miss your pretty eyes and cute smile

But good things can only last a little while.
