Taken By Surprise - Varsity

It was over by mid October

She had already packed up her bags by then

I can’t remember by mid December

She was desperately trying to leave Michigan

She won’t know she’s made it until she hates it

Excellent taste in terrible dudes

Her five year plan is to get out of the basement

With stakes so low it’s hard to know what to do

I was taken by another guy

You, taken by surprise

I can’t, I don’t like the look in your eye

But you, you were taken by surprise

Not impressed with the time she’s taken

Five years has suddenly turned into eight

The person of interest had always been faking

An interest in everything she loved to hate

It was over by mid October

She had already packed up her bags by then

I can’t remember by mid December

She was desperately trying to leave me again

I was taken by another guy

You, taken by surprise

I can’t, I don’t like the look in your eye

But you, you were taken by surprise

I cannot help you

I cannot help you, no

I cannot help you go
