Warm-up

Why'd you have to leave in July

On a peaceful and serene summer night

I wish that you would have waited until

September

Just a couple more memories to remember

I guess I had to pay you back to your lender

I guess I had to send you back to The Sender

But then again maybe you're gone till

November

And maybe this is just a part of the agenda

Why'd you have to go so soon

We miss you

He quickly says “No, you aren’t ready to drive in a car full of loud teenagers.” You yell that he’s “unfair” and is “trying to ruin your life.” He says that now you have to wait a month before you can borrow his car for any reason.
