[instrumental] [Verse 1] The wind was light on move-in day I pulled my case into the crowd someone smiled and said "let me help" I said thanks and looked away the poster said "welcome, freshmen" like a lamp hung on the gate and suddenly I felt this place might be brand new [Chorus] I like the feeling of this campus bright and gentle, green with shade someone talks, someone comes near the older girls warm, the boys polite I'm in no hurry for the future let me keep today first if the world is big, that's fine I'll walk slow, I'll take my time [instrumental] [Verse 2] The dorm door opens, we're close four of us laughing like a village she says "from now on, together" I say "okay" like a promise a new map open in my hand every step is clean and new that day I learned that youth comes looking for you [Bridge] Don't rush me into being wise let me hold my wondering close hide the panic in the night keep the warm part for you to hear [Chorus] I like the feeling of this campus bright and gentle, green with shade someone talks, someone comes near the older girls warm, the boys polite I'm in no hurry to answer the hard ones let me keep today first if the world is big, that's fine I'll walk slow, I'll take my time [Outro / instrumental]
