This cover is SO beautiful, omg. I’m in love. Of course nothing tops the orig but still this is amazing.
I think I will love this song forever, no matter what. When I hear it, it just takes me back to that one summer. Holding hands everywhere. My first kiss ever with James at Pirates of the fucking Carribean, lmfao. Just sitting around. Park swings and sand. Bus rides. Pool. The tennis courts. A stupid bucket of ice. Skateboards. The stupid ball necklace James always wore and his stupid pants and his sweaty shirts. And his stupid stupid hair and glass eye. His disgusting saliva. He was so funny. Everything was so perfect and carefree. I’m not missing those times at all, but I’m so glad to have them as memories. They’re some of my favorite middle school memories.
The first time I heard this song was on a bus ride. I don’t remember where to or from, but I was sitting on James’s lap and James was sitting next to Mike and I’m pretty sure Josh or maybe Frank or someone else was involved, but I know it was a big pile of us sharing two seats. Anyway, someone put that song on and I’d never heard it but everyone else knew it and was singing along. It was perfection. I specifically remember we were holding hands because the song goes “Place your hand in mine/I’ll leave when I wanna”, and I thought it was so fitting. James loved Blink-182. I remember he once said he owned all their cds, even the one with the siamese cat on it, which I guess is rare or something because everyone was impressed. I don’t know. I guess some things you’ll just never forget, you know?
