Scout and I were good friends Ruled the neighborhood with no fear 'Cause she was just one of the boys then Until the day she started lookin' at me weird She said, "I want to kiss you"... Then she threw me down to the grass But I was more scared than confused She said if I told her dad, she'd kick my ass She grabbed me by the face Said, "On your mark, get ready, set"... We stayed close as the years flew by Went onto different high schools I remember she nuck up to my room one night And asked me if I wanted to break some rules She said, "I've dreamed of having you put me down, Burn my bridge right to the ground You will never mind what I ever said before, I'm not just the girl next door no more"... She put her hands upon my face said, "on your mark, get ready, set, go"... This will be our little special place Let's go find out what you know... Some things in your life you say Other things you say you won't... The very next morning I awoke with a chill She had left a flower on my window sill And as I viewed her footprints from the night before I realized I wasn't a boy no more... I zoned out on her face On your mark, get ready, set, go... This was our little special place And I found out what I now know...
