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.
