| Betty, I won’t make assumptions
|
| About why you switched your homeroom, but
|
| I think it’s 'cause of me
|
| Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
|
| When I passed your house
|
| It’s like I couldn’t breathe
|
| You heard the rumors from Inez
|
| You can’t believe a word she says
|
| Most times, but this time it was true
|
| The worst thing that I ever did
|
| Was what I did to you
|
| But if I just showed up at your party
|
| Would you have me? |
| Would you want me?
|
| Would you tell me to go fuck myself
|
| Or lead me to the garden?
|
| In the garden, would you trust me
|
| If I told you it was just a summer thing?
|
| I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
|
| But I know I miss you
|
| Betty, I know where it all went wrong
|
| Your favorite song was playing
|
| From the far side of the gym
|
| I was nowhere to be found
|
| I hate the crowds, you know that
|
| Plus, I saw you dance with him
|
| You heard the rumors from Inez
|
| You can’t believe a word she says
|
| Most times, but this time it was true
|
| The worst thing that I ever did
|
| Was what I did to you
|
| But if I just showed up at your party
|
| Would you have me? |
| Would you want me?
|
| Would you tell me to go fuck myself
|
| Or lead me to the garden?
|
| In the garden, would you trust me
|
| If I told you it was just a summer thing?
|
| I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
|
| But I know I miss you
|
| I was walking home on broken cobblestones
|
| Just thinking of you when she pulled up like
|
| A figment of my worst intentions
|
| She said «James, get in, let’s drive»
|
| Those days turned into nights
|
| Slept next to her, but
|
| I dreamt of you all summer long
|
| Betty, I’m here on your doorstep
|
| And I planned it out for weeks now
|
| But it’s finally sinkin' in
|
| Betty, right now is the last time
|
| I can dream about what happens when
|
| You see my face again
|
| The only thing I wanna do
|
| Is make it up to you
|
| So I showed up at your party
|
| Yeah, I showed up at your party
|
| Yeah, I showed up at your party
|
| Will you have me? |
| Will you love me?
|
| Will you kiss me on the porch
|
| In front of all your stupid friends?
|
| If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
|
| Will it patch your broken wings?
|
| I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
|
| But I know I miss you
|
| Standing in your cardigan
|
| Kissin' in my car again
|
| Stopped at a streetlight
|
| You know I miss you |
