Prom Queen Lyrics by Buttons

Bent and Broken

2014

Things hadn't been going well for me lately
Dark clouds were looming overhead
Then I saw you glowing in that dusty field
The summer I've never been
Thought, damn it, I'll camp out with nothing left
I had to try it, so I bared my crooked teeth
Shed a smile; to my relief, you smiled back
And that's exactly what I needed to be happy again
Slow dancing in the back of a bus
We were both romancing the idea of us
But we both knew soon enough that I'd have to leave
So for a night I was king, but you will always be my prom queen
My prom queen
You helped me hold my head up high when I was falling
You even held my broken hand
Now you hold my broken heart so it don't fall apart
Reducing me back to that broken man I don't wanna see again
I gotta feeling in my stomach, can't describe it but I love it
Taken back cause you're exactly what I needed to be happy again
Slow dancing in the back of a bus
We were both romancing the idea of us
But we both knew soon enough that I'd have to leave
So for a night I was king, but you will always be my prom queen
My prom queen
Well, everyday's the best day ever
Ever since I met you, dear Maxine
Everything will all get better
And I'll be back for you one day, my queen
We were both slow dancing in the back of a bus
We were both romancing the idea of us
But we both knew soon enough that I'd have to leave
So for a night I was king, but we will always be
Slow dancing in the back of a bus
We were both romancing the idea of us
But we both knew soon enough that I'd have to leave
So for a night I was a king, but you will always be my prom queen
