Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.

I high-five Tré as he walks by me to leave the bar, two girls trailing behind him with hearts in their eyes and hands reaching out to lightly touch his jacket. Mike's still talking to the bartender, trying to get a free drink by using the "I'm in a band." pick up. All he seems to be gaining is more angry 'no's.

She's so cool I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

I walk into the crowd, trying to get close to the middle or front. I don't know what band is playing, but they've got spunk. Maybe someday we'll tour around the states with them.

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fucking explanation

The crowd starts opening up directly where I'm standing, and I look around for an open spot to watch all the crazies go at it in the pit. All of the sudden a hand grasps my arm and tugs me out of the way as two men come in and start swinging and jumping.

"Hey, you're gonna get killed in there if you're not careful." I hear.

I turn to see a girl with brown eyes and black hair - probably dyed - and she's wearing leather. I choke on the 'Woah, you're hot.' that's stuck in the back of my throat. My mouth opens but nothing comes out.

"What?" she asks, her face scrunching up in confusion.

"I- I don't know." I say, swallowing nothing.

Black and white picture of her on my wall.
I waited for her call
She always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance, I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

She chuckles out an, "Okay, then." and when she asks for my name a second later, I almost call myself 'Bark'.

"Mark," I cough, "my name's Mark."

She smiles at me, "Cool, my name's Skye."

"Wanna dance?" I ask. She nods and my heart flutters.
