lyrics

On a porcelain floor
This is what I've been waiting for
With your hands on my wrist
I didn't think it'd happen like this

April 4th, 1994
Can you give me a few dollars for the cab ride home
I didn't think it'd take so long
To get to the front door of your dorm

I liked what we talked about before
Maya Deren films and Sylvia Plath poems
High school is so dull
I was worried I wouldn't be smart enough

And you'd find me boring
But I swear I couldn't breathe when you laughed at that joke I made
And you asked if you could kiss me
It was such a polite thing to say

Now you're on top of me
But I didn't move
I didn't wanna tell you
It was my first time

I thought it'd ruin the mood
I didn't want to lose you so soon
All those high school boys said they'd take it off my hand

I'm glad I gave it to you
What happens next
What happens after sex

This is a dumb question
I feel embarrassed for asking it
My senior prom is at the end of the month
Do you think you'd like to go?

You say you don't know
Maybe you're too old
It's nothing personal
If you change your mind give me a call

We could do something else
Maybe go to the mall
Or we could go see a show
What's that one band you're always telling me about

As I watched the snow melt
From the back of that yellow car
I thought about what I said
I began to hate myself

Do you think he'll call
I waited by the phone
The tears began to flow
But I didn't let anyone know

It just hurts so much
To hear your mom always say
Melanie what's wrong?
