Graduation Trip - Bowling For Soup

It was so long ago

That feels so strange to say

How does eighteen years ago

Seem just like yesterday?

A hundred kids from around the world

On a ship to the great unknown

Two boys for every girl

You had never been away from home

You were drinking something really green

Hopping around like a grasshopper

I was sipping diesel gasoline

Then I threw up on the mezzanine

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind

Because I’m afraid it’s something I dwell on all of the time

I hear you’re doing amazing, and

Believe me that makes me smile

But I hope you think of me every once in a while

We watched the stars shine

Ate chicken by the slot machines

I was with a friend of mine

He got into your roommate’s jeans

We danced to Aerosmith

And then we watched the sun appear

I took a bracelet from your wrist

You took an earring from my ear

You twisted one last twirl

Then kissed me so fucking hard

And all at once our friends would leave

Our hair tangled in the ocean breeze

You told me you loved me

I asked you if you were sure

You said you thought so

And then I said that I loved you too

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind

Because I’m afraid it’s something I dwell on all of the time

I hear you’re doing amazing, and

Believe me that makes me smile

But I hope you think of me every once in a while

Georgia girl meets Texas boy

Place in time so far away

Like Leonardo Di Caprio

But our ship sank a different way

A lifetime in four short days

Said goodbye and we never looked back

A few letters always ended the same

I love you, did you know that?

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind

Because I’m afraid it’s something I dwell on all of the time

I hear you’re doing amazing, and

Believe me that makes me smile

But I hope you think of me every once in a while

Yeah I hope you think of me every once in a while
