[Verse 1]
Your blue mug’s waiting by the dorm-room sink
The lecture hall clock says we’ve got time to think
We cut across the quad with our notebooks loose
And a half-baked plan for the afternoon

[Pre-Chorus]
You saved me a seat in the back row again
I saved you the last of my coffee at ten

[Chorus]
We were making our own little history
Trading big plans for cheap cafeteria tea
With your name on my sleeve and my shoes in the rain
Every long week felt a little less plain
When the final bell rang, we ran outside
Young enough to believe we could change our minds

[Verse 2]
The library closes, we spill to the steps
You quiz me on words I’m not ready for yet
A laundry-room radio rattles the floor
We talk past midnight, then talk some more

[Pre-Chorus]
You drew a crooked map on the back of my notes
To the place by the river where nobody goes

[Chorus]
We were making our own little history
Trading big plans for cheap cafeteria tea
With your name on my sleeve and my shoes in the rain
Every long week felt a little less plain
When the final bell rang, we ran outside
Young enough to believe we could change our minds

[Bridge]
Someday these rooms will belong to someone new
They’ll find our old initials under the desk, two by two
But you’ll still know the shortcut, I’ll still know the tune
And we’ll laugh like the whole world was waiting for June

[Final Chorus]
We were making our own little history
Trading big plans for cheap cafeteria tea
With your name on my sleeve and my shoes in the rain
Every long week felt a little less plain
When the final bell rang, we ran outside
Young enough to believe we could change our minds

[Outro]
Your blue mug’s waiting by the dorm-room sink
We had more time than we thought, I think
