[Chorus: Alma]
Pick me up at 8 in the park, and we could hit the road
Driving 'til the day goes dark and the headlights glow
I think I had a very good reason for telling you no
But we could bottle up a brand new season and take it to go
[Verse 1: Rico]
She was a more than a girl, and this was more than a crush
No erroneous lust, this was the story of us
It was crazy how we met, if I remember correct
She was carrying groceries and I was waiting on the bus
We smiled, cause we had the same math professor
And sat next to each other in some class lectures
Even though I barely knew her, I went in to say what's up
What's up? Might as well go try my luck
Feeling good, feeling great
But I had another class though, and I couldn't be late
Maybe I take your number for later? Yeah, right
She turned me down, but I ain't go without a fight
Okay, I finally got it, now I'm hoping that it's real
Cause calling Dominoes is a hell of a way to feel
But she answered the phone and asked what was the deal
Then I finally got the courage to ask if we could chill, she said…
[Chorus: Alma]
Pick me up at 8 in the park, and we could hit the road
Driving 'til the day goes dark and the headlights glow
I think I had a very good reason for telling you no
But we could bottle up a brand new season and take it to go
[Verse 2: Rico]
Okay, I finally got it, yeah, I did it, riding around and we chilling
What a feeling, cause I got her with me
But despite the anticipation that led to this situation
This really ain't how I thought it would be
Suddenly I don't know where the hell we going
The conversation ain't flowing
The chemistry isn't showing at all
And I hate to be so dismissive
But this was supposed to be different
I'm feeling like all the feeling dissolved
[Alma:]
I know I'm not the first one with a story like this
Or a Verse 1 about a person I miss, but the…
[Rico:]
…fact remains, this game of passion and pain
Is full of lovers that fight and complain
[Alma:]
I think I had a very good reason…
[Rico:]
…to do what I did
Cause this couldn't be worth the trouble that I knew it would give
But oh well—life goes on, and change it brings
Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus: Alma]
Pick me up at 8 in the park, and we could hit the road
Driving 'til the day goes dark and the headlights glow
I think I had a very good reason for telling you no
But we could bottle up a brand new season and take it to go
