When You Go Back To College Lyrics

Do you remember Christmas break?
We hung out almost every day,
and I can honestly say I fell back in love with you.
Your hair is my favorite, sometimes I really miss it,
Maybe I'm being stupid or just a little sentimental.
I know you've made some new friends,
and I have made some new friends,
and we've still got the old friends,
we still got each other,
so when you go back to college try and send me a letter,
and I'll try to come visit but I work so much this semester.
I always liked your smile, and I always loved your laugh,
and the first time that we hung out you let me hold your hand,
Your red hair is my favorite,
now I know I'm gonna miss it.
Maybe I'll try and visit but everything is gonna be different.

Cover art for When You Go Back To College lyrics by Paul Baribeau

He contradicts himself in this.

He says that though they have new friends, they still have old friends and each other.

Yet, he knows that nothing will be the same once she moves away. And he tries to offer him and her comfort.

this song should be a lot more popular than it is.

Does anyone know the tabs?

i don't think it's a contradiction. this song really rang true to me last year, and i know it's very possible for two people to say they will always have each other but act like complete strangers when they are together. it sucks but it happens. and i think that's what he is saying here.

also, the order of it.. probably used to feel that way, but by the end of the song, and the situation they're in, things won't work out.
