[Intro]

(What makes you think she'll go out with you?)

[Verse 1]

Car door's slamming

I'm shot out a cannon

It's Friday night

I'm in the liquor store and my car's outside

With my friends inside

Praying we don't get pulled over for a broke taillight

Hand full of vodka in front of the counter

I'm freaking out

Faces out the window, see 'em peeking out

Now I'm checking out

My ID's so bad, he's asking what's my street name now, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Holding you like it's the state title

Feeling like I can't lose

That's what growing up will do to you

[Chorus]

Wonder why I ever let you go

You and I were both electrical

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

Way, oh, the way it was

Wonder why I ever left it then

Those Midwest nights were medicine

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

Way, oh, the way it was

[Drop]

Way, oh, the way it was

[Verse 2]

Snuck out your window

Now I'm in the driveway in my dad's Ford

You're running out to me in those JV shorts

That you always wore

There's just nothing like a summer with the girl next door, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Holding you like it's the state title

Feeling like I can't lose

That's what growing up will do to you

[Chorus]

Wonder why I ever let you go

You and I were both electrical

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

Way, oh, the way it was

Wonder why I ever left it then

Those Midwest nights were medicine

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

Way, oh, the way it was

[Drop]

Way, oh, the way it was

[Bridge]

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

The way it was

[Chorus]

Wonder why I ever let you go

You and I were both electrical

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

Way, oh, the way it was

Wonder why I ever left it then

Those Midwest nights were medicine

Never thought I'd miss the way it was

Way, oh, the way it was

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh
