You're the kind of girl who warns of
The dangers of swallowing gum
And I'm the kind of boy who warns of
The dangers of falling in love

I'll keep writing you these songs
And hope that one day you will sing along
I don't think you understand
The way it feels to hold your hand

Emerald sunrise, the look in your eyes
And memories that I'll always keep
Exploding colors, Forget the others
And I'll drive home so you can sleep

I'll keep writing you these songs
And hope that one day you will sing along
I don't think you understand
The way it feels to hold your hand

And you don't really have to go
You can stay a little while you know
Because it's such a long drive home
I'm sorry that I got your car towed
Sit out on the balcony
Staring at the stars with me
Feeling that summer breeze
Baby you can linger longer

You're the kind of girl who runs off
Without ever saying goodbye
And I'm the kind of boy who won't try
To hide the tear from his eye

I'll keep writing you these songs
And hope that one day you will sing along
I don't think you understand
The way it feels to hold your hand

And you don't really have to go
You can stay a little while you know
Because it's such a long drive home
I'm sorry that I got your car towed
Sit out on the balcony
Staring at the stars with me
Feeling that summer breeze
Baby you can linger longer

And you don't really have to go
You can stay a little while you know
Because it's such a long drive home
Baby you can linger longer
Sit out on the balcony
Staring at the stars with me
Feeling that summer breeze
Baby you can linger longer
