Going To Prom Songtext
von Kevin Morby

"I was young once, yes I was", said the mother to the son
I was younger than you now
Come close, I′ll tell you how it happened

Well, this is a photograph of me on my front lawn
A window to the past, of me in a corsage, going to Prom

Going to Prom
Going to Prom

And this is a photograph of me in my first home
Never thought that I could call a place my own
There's nothing wrong here, there′s nothing wrong, dear
There's nothing wrong with me (ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh) with me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) with me
(Ooh-ooh)


And this is a photograph of me with my first born
His eyes your same eyes
His soul is your same soul

Screaming at life into the light
Gasping for breath 'til there′s nothing left
Here is your body, here is your chest
Here is your hunger, here is my breast

"I was young once, yes I was", said the mother to the son
I was younger than you now
Can someone tell me how it happened?

And why did it happen to me?
And it′s gonna happen to you
And what's gonna happen to you?
Babe, when it happens to you
What′s gonna happen to you?
