Dang….Fifth Grade Boyfriends, am I right…?
Cute!… til it’s like…. NOT cute at ALL!
We took out your row boat
When your dad wasn’t home
And I thought you were so brave
Just Paddling free
Like we were 16
You smiled as you looked my way
Nintendo upstairs
And your brother was there
Makin fun like he would usually do
But I didn’t mind
with you by my side
In the April afternoon
We walked down my block
Kickin pebbles and rocks
By the water in the sunshine
We Went up to my room
And I wanted to kiss you
But it was the first time
We sat down on my bed
And I don’t know what I said
Something stupid coz that’s how it goes
And then as we leaned in
You crashed into my chin
And then I bonked into your nose
We were just like Zach and Kelly for a time
In the St Patricks Day Parade
I was yours and you were mine
By the time summer came
We were fading away
You started hangin out with Carrie Teague
And I was over you fast
Coz it never would last
Honestly I was kinda outta your league…

This is so terrific.
Fun, great details, good story.
I love the background comments.
Very nice melody too.
You play the uke so well.
Production (esp. vocal doubling) very nice.
You have a beautiful voice.
I really enjoy your songs!

The details do a great job of showing us how young these folks were, especially in conjunction with the music. And the (possibly false) confidence of the narrator at the end. . . .
@bootlegger Feb 2022
Haha. Captures the feeling so perfectly. Wonderful.
@kvnwoodruff Feb 2022
This is so catchy. And honest!
@ltunes Feb 2022
This inspired! I love the lyrics. Harmonies are great fun. Raw sound fits the vibe. Thanks for taking me back to that awkward time in a fun way!
@andyt13 Feb 2022
So great!!! XOXOX
@sailingmagpie Feb 2022
Beautiful harmonies and I really enjoyed subtle reference to Saved by the Bell! The little spoken part at the end made me smile too.
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice write! You've captured that pre-teen vibe perfectly. The harmonies are wonderful.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Lovely harmony, and just a fun teen pop feel to it. I love the line about leaning in for a kiss and bumping into each other. Nice!
@suehaney Feb 2022
I think this song is cute ll the way through, even at the end. It pretty much captures awkward teenage romance- especially the bonking noses part. I played this one for my husband and he laughed at the end!

Love the wonderful tight harmonies and lovely flowing melody on top of the wonderful staccato strum. What a great sound and lovely love song! So many fun details and phrases in this great story of the rise and fall of a relationship love the vocalizations and the ending! Fun!
