Core Memory

I wake up to your voice while you open my bedroom windows You say I'm running late for school that day No breakfast, just straight out the driveway

I had a good day, everyone talked to me Sweet drinks and busy hallways, running away from the intentional getaway

One, two, I stepped on your shoe, but you smiled at me Later that day, I sent you a message saying I'm sorry For no reason, I was brave and all smiley Oh oh oh, that day I made a core memory

The next day, I woke up on my own, earlier than the song of the birds Greeted the day with a smile Asked you to meet me in the hallway Talk some and maybe make you mine that day

It was the best thing since sliced bread Salt chips and your cousins, talking about how they saw me hiding

One, two, I was looking for you, and that day I saw your cousins too Then we met, we talked, and shared laughters of flirt For no reason, I was brave, ready to show the world Oh oh oh, that day I made a core memory

And if Romeo had just allowed himself to see The lying but breathing body of his sweetie Would their love story be better than the 20th century?

One, two, there's no more you Who ghosted? Was it me or you? But it doesn't matter now, 'cause I have made new core memories Core memories, even without you
