[English]

Back in high school we used to take it slow

...

Red lipstick on and high heel stilettos

Had a job downtown working the servo

...

Had me waiting in line couldn't even let go

'Cause I never wanna be that guy

Who doesn't even get a taste

No more having to chase

To win that prize

You're just a little bit out of my limit

It's been two years now you haven't even seen the best of me

And in my mind now I've been over this a thousand times

But it's almost over

Let's start over

...

Back in high school we used to make up plans

...

Called you up one day to meet split ends

'Cause I never wanna be that guy

Who doesn't even get a taste

No more having to chase

To win that prize

You're just a little bit out of my limit

It's been two years now you haven't even seen the best of me

And In my mind now I've been over this a thousand times

But it's almost over

Let's start over

...

You're just a little bit out of my limit

It's been two years now you haven't even seen the best of me

And In my mind now I've been over this a thousand times

But it's almost over

Let's start over

...
