Not Forever After

Four shots and you're pouring me a fifth
But no girl's ever looked at me like this
Your roommate's pissed, she's halfway out the door
We throw our glasses back, and I shiver as your hair kisses the floor

I can't remember which party we danced through the night
The boys ask stupid questions
We just laugh at the secret we can't hide
For the first time, Cinderella's staying out past midnight
Your lips press soft against my shoulder
It's not forever
It's just a moment we can smile at when we're older
Hmm

You grab my hand and drag me to your room
My heart takes off and doesn't stop 'til she is halfway to the moon
Suddenly we're sober and we're shy
But someday we'll be brave enough to look each other in the eye

I can't remember which party we danced through the night
The boys ask stupid questions
We just laugh at the secret we can't hide
For the first time, Cinderella can't hear the clock strike
With her lips pressed against my shoulder
It's not forever
It's just a moment we can smile at when we're older
It's not forever
It's just a moment we can smile at when we're older

You hit your face the next morning in line for the waffle iron
I forgive you, I was nervous too
A couple years float by 'til we talk for hours
At a house party in College Park
We didn't kiss
We just reminisced

I don't remember which one of us was last to reply
The boys still ask me stupid questions
I just scoff and roll my eyes
Now I know that Cinderella don't need no prince to survive
Sometimes I check up on your profile
It's not forever
It's just the way I tend to think of you and smile
It's not forever
It's just the way you cross my mind once in a while
It's not forever
It's just a moment we can smile at when we're older
