Where We're Going To (Go)
Class crush to porch-date arc: planning dates instead of notes, then finally knowing where we’re going to go.

Track six on Goodbye/Hello (2010). Lyrics per archived lukewaltonband.com. Classroom crush narrative that pays off: anxiety verses (plannin’ dates instead) resolve in the sunset kiss: yeah now we know just where we’re going to go.

Lyrics
First day of class a girl walks in, She flips her hair and I know right then, That I'll be switching seats. Lecture begins and we both yawn, We're passing notes and poking fun, At how weird our teacher can be. I know not to look, Too far ahead but I'm, Plannin' dates instead, Yeah I'm plannin' dates instead. Here I go, once again, thinking about this, Dreaming of us in love, God how I wish, I could know, Just where we're going to. Why do I hope for things I can barely see, Praying for so much more, God how I need, To just know, Where we're going to. Go down her street but my shaking hands, Make it tough to drive as I'm pullin in, To greet her out front her house. I see her face and I about die, Swallow my fear and eek out hi, But she hugs me and I take a breath. I know not to look, Too far ahead but I, Plan our life instead, Yeah I plan our life instead. Here I go, once again, thinking about this, Dreaming of us in love, God how I wish, I could know, Just where we're going to. Why do I hope for things I can barely see, Praying for so much more, God how I need, To just know, Where we're going to. Goin well, I'm leaning in, The bright sun sets as we begin, To show love, oh to show love. She smiles as I break the trance, To whisper words of sweet romance, Singing I know, yeah now we know. Just where we're going to go. Here I go, once again, thinking about this, Dreaming of us in love, God how I wish, I could know, Just where we're going to. Why do I hope for things I can barely see, Praying for so much more, God how I need, To just know, Where we're going to, Go.
