The Other D-Style

Late night,

Come and pick me up, let’s grab a bite.

Long line,

Could end in mozz sticks or some Hop fries.

I look at you, oh, it’s been awhile since I have even seen boat shoes, seen boat shoes.

I guess now I know it’s spring ‘cause I’m

Sporting 12 different toe rings

And I see your ankle-sock tan line.

You are a salmon shorts, polo shirt, fresh kind of guy,

And I got that sundress, J. Crew, look that you like.

And when we go into town, heads turn on a dime.

We’re rocking that preppy style,

We’re rocking that Sperry style.

He’s got that long hair, Tevas, Trips t-shirt.

We’re doing the Salty Dog and starting to flirt,

And when we go stargazing, matching flannels each time.

We’re rocking that outdoors style,

We’re rocking that Robo style.

So many Uggs

Bean Boots, Timberlands, so warm and snug.

Walking home

Lights are off, we’re taking off our coats.

I say, “I heard, oh, that Canada Goose prices are out of this world, out of this world.”

He says, “What you’ve heard is true but it

was a gift from my Aunt Sue,” and I...

I said, “I’ve heard that excuse few times.”

But he’s got that dry-cleaned ’15s sweater I like,

And I got that North Face, skating on Occom’s ice.

And when we go crashing down, we get up every time.

We’re rocking that winter style.

We’re rocking that frostbite style.

He’s got that bright flair, dyed hair, tie dye shirt,

And I got that pink muumuu and a blazer from work.

And when we go dancing round, blame the boogie each time.

We’re rocking that H-Croo style,

We’re rocking that rainbow style.

Welcome home,

Oh welcome home, yeah.

Welcome home.

She’s got that high school, think-I’m-cool look in your eye,

And I got that lanyard, I’m scared, SOS vibe.

And when we unpack our stuff we meet for the first time.

We’re rocking that roommate style,

We’re rocking freshman style.
