Betty I won't make assumptions
But why you switched your homeroom but
I think it's cause of me
Betty one time I was riding on my skateboard
When I passed your house
It's like a couldn't breathe
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times but this time it was true
The worse thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you,
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden
In the garden would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing
I'm only seventeen
I don't know anything but I know I miss you,
Betty I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds you know that
Plus I saw you dance with him
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times but this time it was true
The worse thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you,
But what if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden
In the garden would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing
I'm only seventeen
I don't know anything but I know I miss you,
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you when she pulled up
Like a figment of my worst intentions
She said "James get in let's drive."
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her but
I dreamt you all summer long,
Betty I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now but
It's finally sinking in
Betty right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when you see my face again
The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you,
So I showed up at your party
Yeah I showed up at your party
Yeah I showed up at your party
Will you have me?
Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch
In front of all of your stupid friends
If you kissed me
Will it be just like I dreamed it
Will it patch your broken wings
I'm only seventeen
I didn't know anything
But I know I miss you
Standing in your cardigan
Kissing in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight you know I miss you.
