The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Unpack your bags, where do you think you're going?

You're already far enough from me

I'm fresh out of my fresh excuses

So, plain and simple, I don't want you to leave

Can't you wait until tomorrow?

Next week? Next month? (Never?)

Procrastination is a virtue

Well, at least that's how it seems to me

What we have won't last long

Through the heat of California's sun

There's a current in the coastline

And it's pulling you from me

As long as sun shines through your window

I'm still your Florida boy

And the summer's almost here

Let's stay eighteen forever

Who said our summer sun would have to set?

California's calling, but I'm already on the line

So don't you dare put me on hold

I wanna hold you close to me

Wait up, I've got you figured out

You wanna grow up, move out, and start a new life

You've got your cold shoulder

"You can't keep me from going"

But your heart sank when you saw the look in my eyes

We could live with no obligations, we're still young

"But you don't understand, I've gotta get the hell out of this town"

I'm just used to the Atlantic, like you used to dive into me

The waves of your waterbed never waved goodbye

Just wait a minute, that's all I need

I've only got this chance to change your mind

So let our tongues do all the talking

And let your hips slide up to mine

I'm still your Florida boy

And the summer's almost here

Let's stay eighteen forever

Who said our summer sun would have to set?

California's calling, but I'm already on the line

So don't you dare put me on hold

I wanna hold you close to me

I'm not [usually] one to break my word

And I mean [most of] the things I say

(Something tells me...)

But when I said sometimes it's best to follow your heart

(I won't last a day without you here)

I never said I didn't need you

But still, I stand by that advice

'Cause home is where the heart is

So long as my pictures line your mirror

You have no excuse to pack them in a box

My feet are planted on the floor

Between your covers and the door

And I'm not leaving

(I'm standing in your doorway)

So don't you walk away from me

(I'm kneeling in your doorway)

I'm on my knees, I'm desperate
