about

This song was originally a present for a friend with a fall birthday. The repeated reference to summer and it being a new year relate to the fact that we are both Jewish and our new year, Rosh Hashanah, begins in the fall

lyrics

That day when we went swimming in the middle of the river and the water was so cold and the minnows ate my toes and
You wouldn't get in all the way, we talked about our lives and being gay (very loudly) and some dude who came to swim there grabbed his stuff and walked away

And we were there
We should remember we were there
Lets all agree to remember every single thing we did while we were there
Cuz summer's almost over
It's a bummer but y'know we've got a lot of growing up to do this year
So let's never forget that we were here

That night when we were dancing in your kitchen cooking stir-fry
Marina and the Diamonds on the stereo
Sending Snapchats to each other like we weren't in the same room
And suddenly I realized I would never be alone

And we were there
We should remember we were there
Lets all agree to remember every single thing we did while we were there
Cuz summer's almost over
It's a bummer but y'know we've got a lot of growing up to do this year
So let's never forget that we were here

Thank you for getting me outside
For feeding me fresh vegetables and walking over when I want to hide
Thank you, in fact thank you in advance
As this year is just beginning
I know there will be so much more to thank you for

What's a friend?
Someone who'll drive you to the dentist when you're high
When you talk about what scares you and you both understand that all these
Plans that we make will never matter anyway cuz we are gay
And we need each other dearly
I'm so glad that I could be a friend to you, and you to I
And not just for the rides to the dentist when I'm high

And we were there
We should remember we were there
Lets all agree to remember every single thing we did while we were there
Cuz summer's almost over
It's a bummer but y'know we've got a lot of growing up to do this year
So let's never forget that we were here

Cuz summer's almost over
It's a bummer but y'know we've got a lot of growing up to do this year
So let's never forget that we were here
So let's never forget that we were here
Oh let's never forget that we were here

about

Too Gay To Function Amherst, Massachusetts

I alternately write songs to put on a mix CD for your crush and rants about how straight boys suck and queer life is weird. I'm currently booking gigs anywhere in or near Boston. I'm also seeking a guitarist or other co-conspirators to write with, plug in some amps and Get Loud. ... more
