I get sad when I realize I live 1,516 miles away from you
I know I shouldn't worry about it
and we'll meet up one day soon
but i still can't get over it
obviously, obviously
i wish you lived closer to me and
honestly i wish that you and me could be something now
instead of waiting two years
cause two years is a long time
for the slight chance that we might meet up one day in the future
like going to college together or something
it's a long shot
a long shot i'm willing to take
but i'd rather not wait
for that time to come
so why can't we just say
why can't we just say yeah
whatever i guess it's cool
we just won't do that
guess we won't do that
and i wanted to say
that every time i listen to Paul Baribeau i think of your name
and i know it's super silly
but i think that you're the nicest person that i've ever met
that i've never met in real life
and you are so cool
and i'm not cool at all
so let's just pretend that i'm way cooler than i am
and just an FYI if you ever find yourself down in the south
i'm sorry i'm going to say "y'all"
because i grew up in the south
but
just ignore it you'll probably get used to it
maybe
i don't know
but if you ever find yourself down in the south
just call my name
i probably won't hear you if you're more than a mile away but
i'll call you!
