lyrics

On campus, in the car
In the house that wasn’t ours
By the swimming pool, in the ice cream
Drinking late doing our thing
Trying to get good enough to play
In front of you
But where’d you go baby?
Where’d you go baby?
Still got that camera roll
Sour candy and mechanical bulls
But on State Street, in a bar
In a town that wasn't ours
Paid in Jamo and in the front row he said
The waves were red you ladies told me so
And one day I’ll get good enough to tattoo
All of you
Ian too
But where’d you go baby?
Where’d you go baby?
Malibu and Doctor Pepper
Let’s see Le Tigre together
And that was the first summer we spent, writing songs for the band
My dad would walk by looking proud
Saying, go ahead girls and play it loud
Trying to get good enough to play
In front of you
