The Ol' College Try

alex introduced me to the brother of his roommate sue
whose friend marie was kind of sweet on me
i met marie but she was already with mark
but mark was friends with kate
and kate thought you and me should date
you look cold so here's my sweater, i'll get us a beer
can't believe we're only meeting in out senior year

let's give it the ol' college try
six degrees is good enough tonight

looking from the curtains of a motel by the hour
one thing lead to another and it ended in a shower
naked in another town i still forget that night
stranges with six names in hearts they hold so tight
maybe we can make this better than the night before
let's go out tomorrow night until for evermore

we'll give it the ol' college try
'couse six degrees is good enough tonight

years flew by when we were young
and sometimes it was good
but looking back on where we've been i wonder
where we stood

we gave it the ol' college try
but six degrees won't get us through the night
we gave it the ol' college try
but six degrees won't get us through the night
