Lyrics

First day of class a girl walks in,
She flips her hair and I know right then,
That I'll be switching seats.

Lecture begins and we both yawn,
We're passing notes and poking fun,
At how weird our teacher can be.

I know not to look,
Too far ahead but I'm,
Plannin' dates instead,
Yeah I'm plannin' dates instead.

Here I go, once again, thinking about this,
Dreaming of us in love, God how I wish,
I could know,
Just where we're going to.

Why do I hope for things I can barely see,
Praying for so much more, God how I need,
To just know,
Where we're going to.

Go down her street but my shaking hands,
Make it tough to drive as I'm pullin in,
To greet her out front her house.

I see her face and I about die,
Swallow my fear and eek out hi,
But she hugs me and I take a breath.

I know not to look,
Too far ahead but I,
Plan our life instead,
Yeah I plan our life instead.

Here I go, once again, thinking about this,
Dreaming of us in love, God how I wish,
I could know,
Just where we're going to.

Why do I hope for things I can barely see,
Praying for so much more, God how I need,
To just know,
Where we're going to.

Goin well, I'm leaning in,
The bright sun sets as we begin,
To show love, oh to show love.

She smiles as I break the trance,
To whisper words of sweet romance,
Singing I know, yeah now we know.
Just where we're going to go.

Here I go, once again, thinking about this,
Dreaming of us in love, God how I wish,
I could know,
Just where we're going to.

Why do I hope for things I can barely see,
Praying for so much more, God how I need,
To just know,
Where we're going to,
Go.

Track six on Goodbye/Hello (2010). Lyrics per archived lukewaltonband.com. Classroom crush narrative that pays off: anxiety verses (plannin' dates instead) resolve in the sunset kiss: yeah now we know just where we're going to go.
