Do you remember the story of the boy and his first date?
She took him to the lake and he fell in love.
She spent one summer waking up between his arms.
She told him how good that felt, told him he was the one.

And then she went away, his calls were not returned.
He went to see her but her eyes were burning a different stare.
The focus was somewhere else.
And that feeling had somehow disappeared.

Do you remember when they both drove out of state?
Stealing kisses behind her cousins back,
With a love so strong tell me who could wait
When it seems so right and it feels so right, man, it had to be right.
When it seems so right and it feels so right, man, it had to be right.
Gotta be right

When it seems so right and it feels so right, man, it had to be right.
But then she went away and she's not coming back
And I'm pretty sure that boy is staying in tonight.

    this song is extremly sad makes me sad in a way just listening to it. i dont want to sound sexist here but how come girls always seem to be the ones to mess up relationships. and another thing if they dont mess it up its cause they went with some asshole that doesnt even treat them right anyways i love this song. it kinda tells you the meaning just by reading the lyrics so yah.
