alex introduced me to the brother of his roommate sue

whose friend marie was kind of sweet on me

i met marie but she was already with mark

but mark was friends with kate

and kate thought you and me should date

you look cold so here's my sweater, i'll get us a beer

can't believe we're only meeting in out senior year



let's give it the ol' college try

six degrees is good enough tonight



looking from the curtains of a motel by the hour

one thing lead to another and it ended in a shower

naked in another town i still forget that night

stranges with six names in hearts they hold so tight

maybe we can make this better than the night before

let's go out tomorrow night until for evermore



we'll give it the ol' college try

'couse six degrees is good enough tonight



years flew by when we were young

and sometimes it was good

but looking back on where we've been i wonder

where we stood



we gave it the ol' college try

but six degrees won't get us through the night

we gave it the ol' college try

but six degrees won't get us through the night
