I met someone, she's twenty two
She's probably got a boyfriend too
But maybe I'll get lucky just this once

Just one hunny has crossed my mind
Since I have crossed the great divide
And she really wasn't all that much

And I would try to say
Some of this honesty
If I thought that you would heed it
Or that you really need it
But if you don't can I please write it down?
And sing my love out loud

I've been pretty loose with cash
And I'm waiting for the aftermath
But everything so far has felt okay

I spent it all on cigs and shoes
And I might get my first tattoo
Do all yours mean something to you?

And I would try to say
Some of this honesty
If I thought that you would heed it
Or that you really need it
But if you don't can I please write it down?
And sing my love out loud
All the good dreams they make me feel so sad
I feel it in the morning when I wake up in my bed
And I whimper and I whisper "dreams, come back"
But they run as quick as you do at the end of every class

I met someone before I left
And Lord it scares me half to death
The way I've thought about her for so long

Just one meeting of the hands
And I can tell we're more than friends
But she moved and I did too

So here I sit with all my worries
While everyone I know just hurries
To settle down and settle in

But underneath my silly stanzas
Is my desires to take some chances

And I would try to say
Some of this honesty
If I thought that they would heed it
All of the girls I played with
But since they don't, I'll write them down
And I'll sing my love out loud
I'll sing my love out loud
