First Date

Do you remember the story of a boy and his first date? She took him to the lake, and he fell in love.
She spent one summer waking up between his arms. She told him how good that felt- oh that he was the one.
But then she went away
His calls were not returned, he went to see her but her eyes were burning a different stare. The focus was somewhere else. The feeling had somehow disappeared.
Do you remember when they both rolled out of state? Stealing kisses behind her cousins back, with a love so strong, tell me who could wait?
When it seems so right, and it feels so right, then it had to be right.
When it seems so right, when it feels so right, then it had to be right. (Gotta be right!)
When it seems so right, and it feels so right, then it has to be right.
When it seems so right, and it feels so right, then it had to be right.
But then she went away, and she's not coming back, and I'm pretty sure that boy is staying in tonight.
