Chelsea

Once upon a time was when I met you
Back when time was meaningless
We were in the second grade and you
Were the new girl in class
You said you were named after the ocean
I could hear it in my shell
Teacher said that we could work together
Cuz we got along so well

And Chelsea, what you wanna play?
Can you sleep over Friday?
I think I heard your mom say
That it's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say
Goodbye

We were in the corner of the schoolyard
Where the boys would let us be
We were on a picnic in the springtime
Dreaming in the grass so green
Can you dream of love without the hurting?
Do you think there are such things?
Do you think that both of us will someday
Give our hands to diamond rings?

And Chelsea, you're just like me
I think about you nightly
I cannot feel things lightly
So I'll have to say goodbye
I'll have to say goodbye
I'll have to say
Goodbye

All the boys wrote you love letters
We read them and we laughed all night
Told the boy I liked all of your secrets
Though I knew it wasn't right
We would race but you were always faster
I was too shy to have much fun
Chelsea I will always love you
Like the moon loves the sun

And Chelsea do you like me?
Are you just here to spite me?
I cannot feel things lightly
So I'll have to say goodbye
I'll have to say goodbye
I'll have to say
Goodbye
