Alma Matter Lyrics by Amelia Day

little one

2023

[Verse 1]
You moved on up to Seattle
Guess you're the city type
Livin’ with your mother and her mother
On the West side
You need your independence, baby
But don't got a ride
Anytime you want me
I'll make the drive
80 on I-40 feels like 20
When you never try
Headin’ home at midnight
Milemarkers in my headlights
Don't need to read 'em
Know the highway like your inner thigh
Anytime you want me
[Chorus]
Let me go or let me in
I wanna feel myself again
I'm givin' up, I'm givin' in
If I never met you, could I love again
High-school sweethearts never win
[Verse 2]
The burger joint beside the park
Is still in business
And the daily specials sign
In red and white still sets me missin'
Sittin’ corner of the curb
And messy adolescent kissin’
There are times you can't repeat
The memories
The Herald says they’re tearin'
Down our alma mater
And they're stackin' up some steel and glass
And calling it "modern"
Hope they find the space and time
To educate their daughters
That there’s a time you need to leave
[Chorus]
Let me go or let me in
I wanna feel myself again
Givin' up, I'm givin' in
If I never met you, could I love again
High-school sweethearts never
[Bridge]
Win
They'll never win
They'll never win
They'll never win
They'll never win
They'll never win
They never win
They never win
They never win, win
They never win
They never win
They never win
I'll never win
I'll never win
You'll never
[Outro]
Let me go or let me in
I wanna feel myself again
I'm givin' up, I'm givin' in
If I never met you, could I love again
High-school sweethearts never win
