He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone

Nico told Will the ways his Texas blue eyes shined put those gorgeous stars to shame that night. He responded simply with "That's a lie" and tucked a strand of already shoulder-length hair back behind his left ear. They were just driving along a back road at night that got stuck in a pothole, so they laid down and were right beside each other all night long waiting for the tow-truck to come tow their stupid old pick-up truck away.

But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

But when Will thinks of Nico, all he can think about is "The Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance, aka Nico di Angelo's favorite song. The one they danced to all night long after getting tired of the tow-truck to come for that stupid old pickup truck. They made it over to the lake and started dancing, too, the moon like a spotlight.

But when Will thinks of happiness, all he can think of is that little black dress Nico wore as a joke on one of their first dates out. He only thinks of Neeks' head on Will's chest, lying on Will's old, faded blue jeans.

September saw a month of tears
And thanking gods that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe

September saw a month of tears from Will and Nico both. Nico's thanking the gods that Will wasn't there to see him like that. But in a box beneath Will's bed is a letter that Nico never got to read. Will pulled it out, and saw it was dated from 3 summers back. And looking back on all of this now, Will thinks it's nice to believe that

When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

when Nico thinks of Will, he'll only think of "You Are My Sunshine", Will's favorite song, the one they danced to all night long the second time that stupid old pick-up truck of Will's had gotten stuck in a ditch. The moon was like a spotlight over their heads, but Will, in Nico's eyes, was who had shined the brightest that night.

It's also nice to beleive that when Will thinks of happiness, he'll always think of that little black dress Nico had pulled on for prom later that year, a late inside joke. People watched and stared as they twirled like a couple from the 50s, but they didn't care a bit. Will always thought of Nico's head on his chest, while wearing his old faded blue jeans.

And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standing on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read

And Will was back for the first time since then, standing there on that street, and there's a letter left on his dormstep and the first thing that he'll read...

Is when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmm

I hope he thinks of me, Will thinks as he walks of the premise, all the while reminded of that one time in June when

He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"

he said the way that Will's blue eyes shined put those gorgeous starts to shame that night, and Will said "That's a lie" as his response, but Nico knew he meant so, so much more.
