Week 40. Ripping the rose-tint off the nostalgia filter.

lyrics

Three and eighteen
So many things to still be seen
Didn't know I could be so green
As I tied myself to the wrong girl of my dreams

The last summer we ever had
Never knew what would make you mad
You'd turn me on as you turned away
But you'd call me every morning every day

For all my basement seduction plans
You were always leavin' with the other man
Thought I could save you from your own bad parts
And you were cruel to my lovesick heart

At three and eighteen
'Ninety-eight, just shy of nineteen
For all my white knight nice guy schemes
I just couldn't make you fall in love with me

Three and eighteen
Skipped a wedding reception to grab some chinese
Overdressed and dolled up like I couldn't believe
Talking 'bout your panties just to be a tease

Eyes flashing like your purple dress
Too many times I must've professed
I was asking for love that you just didn't have
Pouring my heart out like I was a busted dam

Was on the highway when you jumped me
One hand on the wheel, as the other copped a feel
In the '86 Bronco headin' towards my house
Kept my eyes on the road with your tongue in my mouth

Three and eighteen
Still playing hard-to-get, as I was head over heels
Workin' hard, but you had the power
I had the winning suit, you were the wrong bower

Three and eighteen
The last of my love for the high school scene
I learned a lesson that made me mean
And I still get mad at beauty drama queens

Sometimes I'll laugh and think,
How I never had you, but you never really knew me
Now I'm a bitter old man and your a fading dream
Just a bad high school romance at three and eighteen
