Surprise

(album: Songbook - 2009)

What a surprise
What a surprise
How quickly summer's over
What a surprise
What a good disguise
I didn't say goodbye
What a surprise

Feel like I'm at home again
Back inside my mother's arms
Lights are shining on me again
Passing notes with my best friends
Hanging back at class again
Maybe this year I'll find the girl

What a surprise
What a surprise
How quickly summer's over
What a surprise
What a sweet disguise
Feel like I didn't even know ya
What a surprise

And at the mire
Stuck after a time
We thought about graduation
We talked about Jess
Talked a little bout Kyle
And how she might move to Brooklyn
Or at least she'll try

Looks like I'm the man around here
Dad's gone off for another year
Traveling is calling out to him
Share the joys with my little bro
Drop some acid in the snow
Maybe this year I could find a car

What a surprise
What a surprise
How winter makes you honest
What a surprise
A cold stare in the eyes
I didn't even want it
What a surprise
