Intro
Verse 1
Betty, I won’t make assumptions
About 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 I couldn’t breathe
Pre-Chorus
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can’t believe a word she says most times
But this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
was what I did to you
Chorus
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
Instrumental
Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can’t believe a word she says most times
But this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
was what I did to you
Chorus
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
Instrumental
Bridge
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 of you all summer long
Instrumental
Verse 3
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 want to do
Is make it up to you
So I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Chorus
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 your stupid friends?
If you kiss me, will it be
just like I dreamed it
Will it patch your broken wings
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
But I know I miss you
Outro
Standing in your cardigan
Kissing in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
you know, I miss you
