Now we can hold hands

I'll be back before it gets dark 
after we get tired of playing king of the hill.
Sun sets so late in summer
against the willows..
sometimes I forget.

No, it just isn't so.  
I don't always choose them over you,
'course I could never tell you that. 
You're a girl, a special one.
But I can't tell you that either.         

Still, when you told me your stomach hurt,
and I was the reason.. 
I believed you. 

Don't know what to say, never seem to 
'cept maybe      
'Sorry you feel bad, I know that place too.'

'Put your sandals on, I'll walk you home
we can go slow.'
Oh alright - looks over her shoulder to the gang 
'now we can hold hands.'
