*You guys, I'm sure, have heard Clark's 'Downtown', but I doubt you know the lyrics, anyway. It would help, understanding this, if you did. Anyway.
So why are we going to the movies,
When the screen is blank?
And your brown, blonde hair stays hidden and tied,
With the eyes that pushed me over.
If she says more to you, just call me.
And I know Aly knows it's the worst idea,
But we hate it when you cry.
So now my guitar's stuck in my locker,
Along with a thousand notes that I wrote for you,
Stuck at the bottom so you'll never see them.
If your Mom still thinks I'm smoking behind the restroom,
Contradict that because we know I didn't come.
So I'm away from that building.
Downtown has never seemed so isolated before now.
"And why should we go to the movies, if nothing's ever playing,"
Because I wanted to see you.
Saturday I lost you. But Friday, I'm still hanging onto Fall,
With too many people that we won't know and three shots of Everclear.
I'm falling deeper, losing myself in missing purses,
And wallet-sizes I never meant for anyone to see.
"But that's so strange," because I never lost them.
I lost my view of you in glasses and contacts. You know I'm still in awe.
Run off this track, there's woods back there. No one would ever see us.
Through this track of darkness and black, I somehow found a way to the movies.
Just to see you . . . But you were still stuck on Eastern Parkway.
With a crashed Focus, because the light was red.
Your light's red, I don't want to end up with you on Tuesdays,
Because Saturday seems to me, the only night you stay yourself.
And downtown may still be central, but all it is isolated to me.
I'll see you downtown, and I won't let problems surround you,
Because there are always movie shows downtown.
So try another time.
Also, this is about 1) going to school downtown 2) football games and football fields with running tracks surrounding them 3) field hockey 4) glasses and certain people 5) car crashes. Random, but it makes sense if you know what I'm talking about. Please, don't think I'm on crack.
