Going Away (Together) Lyrics

Now that summer's gone

It's time to think about that love

You had when you wore statement bracelets

And she could make those stupid faces

She had funny clothes

But never, ever even close

To those you wore at your first dance

What a silly thing, romance

Falling in love

But not understanding why

Love is so short

And forgetting is so much longer

You met under the tree

And carved your names in it too deep

It was obviously agreed

That this is how it all shall be

So the story goes

That she was forced to go back home

When the leaves had come to fall

And nights were getting dark and cold

Forever, together

Falling in love

But not understanding why

Love is so short

And forgetting is so much longer

Now that summer's gone

It's time to think about that love

You had when you wore statement bracelets

And she could make those stupid faces

She had funny clothes

But never, ever even close

To those you wore at your first dance

What a silly thing, romance
