Fingers clenching the plastic handle
Of the lunchbox on the seat I saved for you
And kicking off the clumps of snow still
Clinging to my velcros
I wonder if You remember you said
You'd be my field trip buddy
Oh the places we'll find all by ourselves
If you would be my field trip buddy
I promise I won't tell anybody else
Please stay together and hold hands
Our instructions before entering the symphony hall
It's not the chandelier circus that's making me nervous
Your hand playing orchestras against mine
Oh the places we'll find all by ourselves
If you would be my field trip buddy
I promise I won't tell anybody else
Oh the places we'll find all by ourselves
If you would be my field trip buddy
I promise I won't tell anybody else
Lights going down now
Everyone secretly hoping they never come back on
Balancing elbows you keep pressing so slowly
I can't be making this up
And the sugar plums turn to cotton candy in my periphery
Our foreheads so close
And right there in the back row
Foreseeing a standing ovation
We promised to be each other's field trip buddy
Oh the places we'll find all by ourselves
If you would be my field trip buddy
I promise I won't tell anybody else
Oh the places we'll find all by ourselves
If you would be my field trip buddy
I promise I won't tell anybody else
Won't tell anybody else
