Soft Serve

Baby I’ve been so scared, so scared
Of dying with nothing to lose
Isn’t it so sad, so sad?
Seeing all your friends move away
You turned 18, 18, got a tattoo on your ribcage
You said you wanted to be bad, be bad
Darling, I’ll take you to the teen age
It’s just so sentimental, you underneath these fluorescent lights
If only I could fill these hollow streets
And drown my ears with my imagination
But no, no, no!
I heard you perfectly
“Just go, go, go!”
As if the sight of me makes your stomach curl
Cause you’re a practical girl and I’m a daydream
Now I’m leaving for the city
You wanted something pretty
Maybe we’ll meet in the middle someday
So you swore you’ll never love again
Closing off so it hurts less, hurts less
Dancing in your prom dress, prom dress
Say goodbye to high school and your young life
Kiss me once for the old times, old times,
There, there, don’t cry, don’t cry
Your kiss melts me like soft serve dripping on the curbside
Your ripped jeans are washing out like the pale blue in your eyes
You said you can’t skate because you’re scared of tripping
But if you never try, you’ll never know what you’re missing
So you swore you’ll never love again
Closing off so it hurts less, hurts less
Dancing in your prom dress, prom dress
Say goodbye to high school and your young life
Kiss me once for the old times, old times,
There, there, don’t cry, don’t cry
(Kiss me goodbye)
Maybe in the next life
