I met you in September of 2000
My heart skipped a beat with feelings profound and
I gave you my soul and virginity
I loved you so much; you were the world to me
Seventeen months together and then we separated
Due to college and commitments. The fantasy faded
It was hard as hell, winter quarter for me
Even though in the long run it made us free
And I'm not mad at you. Wait - yes, I am
I just wish one more time I could hold your hand
And say, "Sarah, take care, until the end
I want you to know I'll always be your friend."
I can't pretend the year never occurred
You always said we'd be in touch, you gave me your word
But the full moon's dark, and Garland's gone
And I'm tearing up your pictures as I'm writing this song

Sarah, I can't seem to find the key
We tossed together into the Velvet Sea
You said you'd always be there, but it wasn't true
But I'm over you, Sarah, I'm over you
Sarah, I can't seem to find the key
We tossed together into the Velvet Sea
You said you'd always be there, but it wasn't true
But I'm over you, Sarah, I'm over you

Sarah! I'm over you!
Sarah! I'm over you!

And when you left it had a deep effect on my life
Cutting me sharply like a serrated knife
But Sarah, I've rolled forward and my head's in the stars
But some mornings when it's cold, I'll wonder how you are
It went sour like our showers together turning cold
And I'll reminisce with passion when my face is gray and old
Or so I'm told we all do when we turn eighty-two
I'll think of high school, Pebble Beach, and you
It's true I'm doing fine though you're sometimes on my mind;
Your adolescent body, acceptable to fine
But nothing gold can stay and dawn goes down today
And Sarah, you'll have cellulite and crow's feet some day
Okay, hey I still love you, it's true
And I hope Whitman College is good to you
Things are okay now, though they used to seem wrong
I'm over you like Sidney writing Laura's last song

Sarah, I can't seem to find the key
We tossed together into the Velvet Sea
You said you'd always be there, but it wasn't true
But I'm over you, Sarah, I'm over you
Sarah, I can't seem to find the key
We tossed together into the Velvet Sea
You said you'd always be there, but it wasn't true
But I'm over you, Sarah, I'm over you

Sarah! I'm over you!
Sarah! I'm over you!
Sarah! I'm over you!
Sarah! I'm over you!
Sarah! I'm over you!
Sarah! I'm over you!
