Going Away To College




This is a song that means a lot to me. I think it is a very pretty song and it has some points in it that i think are very true. Particularly, the line “If young love is just a game then I must have missed the kick off”. This song should be heard at least once by everyone.

Going Away To College- blink 182

Please take me by the hand
It’s so cold out tonight, I’ll
Put blankets on the bed
I won’t turn out the light, just
Don’t forget to
Think about me, and I
Won’t forget you
“I’ll write you once a week,” she said

Why does it feel the same
To fall in love or break it off?
And if young love is just a game, then
I must have missed the kick-off
Don’t depend on me to
Ever follow through on
Anything but
I’d go through Hell for you and

I haven’t been this scared
In a long time
And I’m so unprepared
So here’s your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world’s an ugly place
But you’re so beautiful to me

I’ll think about the times
She kissed me after class and
She put up with my friends
I acted like an ass, I
Ditched my lecture
To watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture
Still hanging in her locker?

I haven’t been this scared
In a long time
And I’m so unprepared
So here’s your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world’s an ugly place
But you’re so beautiful…

I haven’t been this scared
In a long time
And I’m so unprepared
So here’s your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world’s an ugly place
But you’re so beautiful…

    Sam, as you know, I LOVED these movies! I still have to see the third one, but the first two were AMAZING! Thank you so much for introducing me to these movies. I can’t wait for 5 and 6, lol. Awesome awesome choice.

    I think I’ve already told you a million times, but I love the Saw movies. They’re so ingenius. They have the best plots ever. And even though I still have yet to see the last one, I love them all. I can’t wait for the next one :]

    Hey Sam. I’m commenting about your movie choices for the topic we had to write about. The series was really a great hit. I love how they really made you think and ended up having a conclusion you’d never even guess. I haven’t seen the latest one yet, but I’m really eager to :]

    You know, as strange as it seems, I had no idea what that song was called or what it was about until just now. Sure, I always sing along, but I didn’t really pay attention. Thanks for posting this, because now everything makes sense. =]
