"Cinema Hearts Make a Good First Impression...On the new song 'Kinda High School," [Cinema Hearts] sounded something like if Lesley Gore had lived in Olympia, Washington, in the Nineties." - Rolling Stone

lyrics

this is kinda high school
i wanna give you a hickey
yeah, i'm trying to be cool
but i want you to kiss me tonight
i think of you all the time

when I'm down and I'm drunk
and you buy me a soda
it's those times when I'm dumb
that i'm happy i know ya, alright
you're like the love of my life

i don't wanna think what could've come
everything's a mess when you're 21
kissing in the back of a parking lot
sweaty in the hands of a summer love-to-be
you're the one that's meant for me

if i'm Nancy, you're Lee
wearing crimson and leather
licking up ice cream
while we hold hands together all night
you're my valentine

playing house for days
singing "Some Velvet Morning"
in our vinyl haze
when you left without warning; goodbye!
i guess i'll see you next time

i don't wanna think what could've come
everything's a mess and we come undone
screaming in the back of a parking lot
sweaty in the hands of a summer love-to-be
you're the one that's meant for me

soul mates, soul records that you gave me
minty like the gum in your mouth
i can't find anyone who gets me like you used to get me
living with somebody else
i miss you. living on a memory and meeting up in secrecy
wooo!!!!

this is feeling unreal that it's 7 years later
like a 'Notebook' still frame, our story's so famous
when you walk with me, we look so good together
when you said it's me, i knew it'd be forever, oh yeah!
