Cass's Song

You wake me in the morning

roll me out of bed

The sun is blinding, I’m hungover and you’re laughing

Pants from the night before

You drag me out the door

I sit on your handle bars we’re riding to the rope swing

I don’t wanna be the reason

Naked on the river shore

The waters way too cold

I don’t wanna jump, you say “C’mon its what we came here for”

You were always so demanding

Right then from around the bend

Towards us a red canoe and we can’t think of what to do

I don’t wanna be the reason

I know that we should jump in

But we just stand and laugh

We hold up leaves and branches with the sunlight on our back

And then to our surprise

From not too far behind

Boats are racing and there’s nowhere left for us to hide

I don’t wanna be the reason

Did you really feel like leaving ?

Finally we jump in

Screaming we make a scene

Its not that cold but that’s how you and I did everything

Later on we tell our friends

And everyone is laughing

You always seem to thrive when everybody’s looking at you

I don’t wanna be the reason

Did you really feel like leaving?

Does it even matter?

Now you’re coming here to visit and I don’t know why I’m nervous

Cause its only been a year but somehow now it feels so different

Now it feels so different

Now it feels so different
