Our Secret - Beat Happening

i was walking in our town

i was walking through the store

i saw a pretty girl

she held open the door

i said 'i like you'

she said that she liked me

and we could be friends

in our special stupid way

i went to pacific cafe

there she was again

so i said 'hey

we should go swimming in capital lake'

we had a lot of fun but then it got real late

so i walked her home

and had dinner with her family

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why i had dinner with her family

we went to her friend’s house

to have a cup of tea

she said that it was true

she was in love with me

i knew right then we’d have to be alone

cause no one in this whole world could ever understand

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why we’re running away

that’s why i had dinner with her family
