Overview

Anna: That's a story about me in ninth grade. The whole thing is true. It's about a senior in high school, a football guy. I was way too young to be having this young man courting me in the middle of the night. He was cute, though. I might as well use my life as material. It's got to be good for something. This song is the first time I decided to mix distortion and prettiness.

—1995 interview with Anna Waronker and Tony Maxwell

An early version of "One Summer Night" - perhaps an early mix of the album version - appears on the 1994 magazine compilation Volume #9.

Lyrics

One summer night
I was fourteen
He threw his thongs up at my window
And he asked if he could come up and see me

He sat in the quad
Across from me
He asked my opinions about his short stories
It was flattering

Saw him at the prom
He danced with me
I asked him if he'd write me when he went away to school
And he said, "maybe"

We kissed goodnight
I thought I'd never see him again
But he showed up at my window that one hot summer night
And I made him leave
