We've landed in the final fall We've come to far now, too fast To call it back And I wear my hair short now But I still sing songs I wrote with a pony tail To prove that I know how Forgive me for thinking that this would take So much longer, so much longer But I'll just keep laughing for laughter's sake And you'll wonder, yeah you'll wonder Why I do And we'll steel ourselves for the final spring And we'll separate the stuff we packed From all the things we thought we'd bring back home And we'll wear our whites, but we'll probably stain our clothes But that's okay, we never thought we were cool anyway Forgive me for thinking that this would take So much longer, so much longer But I'll just keep laughing for laughter's sake And you'll wonder, yeah you'll wonder Why I do, why I do Why I do, why I do Forgive me for thinking That this would take So much longer So much longer
