its about a girl losing her virginity on prom night he wont remember her and she wont care to remember anything about the night. She will just always love him in vain because he took a part of her.
I don't think so. Maybe black limousines and bunches of flowers, even champaigne, are in use on prom nights in US, maybe even in Ireland too, I don't know. But "future we planned" and "things that we swore" seem to bring to your mind wedding rather than a ball for students.
