Summer Camp Love (Is So In Tents)

Oh hey, how was bird watching?

I made this for you in arts and crafts

It's a clay zombie figure

I know you like zombies right? Okay

I met a girl by the boathouse, she's so lovely

All I want from her is to kiss and hug me

Honestly I'm homesick but she makes it all better

Wow that's beautiful - what's more beautiful?

The way she looks at me when she busses her tray

Pen-15 on my hand, sharpie won't wash away

Thought I was played out on this whole love thing

But she's the type of girl I'd ask to wear my onion ring

I'm 10 years old, I thought girls were gross

But this one's cool, she likes my jokes

I'll keep her safe during capture the flag

Spy on my team for her, enraptured that bad

We go for a walk, I reach for her hand

I'm like "I think I like you" she's like "that was the plan"

I made her a sculpture in arts and crafts

I farted on the hike, she was the only girl who laughed

Summer camp love is so intense

I'd french kiss her if I knew what that meant!

Down by the lake there's a girl that I know

We met at camp almost six weeks ago

No one can tell what next year might hold

At summer camp

She calls me

She tells me she won't be at camp this year

I don't know what to say

I'm sad

Fast forward eight years

What a surprise

It was well worth the wait

Yo, I'm 19 now with a fun summer job

Camp counselor for kids and it doesn't seem odd

Working at the same place I used to go to

You want camp traditions? Well let me show you

And guess who's back on staff this year?

Little miss heartbreaker - oh dear!

All grown up and I'm thinking maybe

Time can do beautiful things to a lady

Skinny-dipping in the lake, she starts to blush

I reach for her hand and I feel the rush

I hold her close, and pretty soon

We're falling in love under a tahoe moon

I'm like "I think I missed you" she's like "I missed you too"

This is what time and patience can do

Summer camp love is so intense

I'd be her man if I knew what that meant!

September comes, we go back to college

I holla at her on facebook

She's all up on my wall and shizz

She calls me the next may

She asks if I'm working again

Fast forward 20 years

Now we're both adults, it happened so fast

And somehow our marriage has happened to last

Had a ceremony by the boathouse

Where the 10 year old me, first checked her out

And everyone was there, our family and friends

I think I like the way this story ends

We had a little girl who just turned 10

Oh no - here we go again!

[Madeline] mom, dad, umm

[Mc lars] what's up maddie?

[Madeline] I met a boy by the boathouse

Summer camp love is so intense... It's so in tents

Summer camp love is so intense (cupid must have taken archery lessons)

Summer camp love is so intense... It's so in tents

Summer camp love is so intense (this sailboat fits 2 people perfectly)

Don't be scared of the ghost stories, I'm here

The moral of the story is that some songs can be happy

Just like life

And even though life can be sad

Sometimes you just have to smile

And remember that summer camp love
