Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a story of boy meets girl
The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey
Grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy
Until the day he met the one
[Verse 2]
This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music
And a total misreading of the movie, The Graduate
[Verse 3]
The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan
Did not share this belief
Since the disintegration of her parents marriage
She'd only love two things
[Verse 4]
The first, was her long dark hair
The second, was how easily she could cut it off and feel nothing
[Verse 5]
Tom meets Summer on January 8th
He knows almost immediately
She's who he's been searching for
[Verse 6]
This is a story of boy meets girl
But you should know up front
This is not a love story
