Match my stride after school
Convince me that you're killin' cool
Makes me masochistic just to hear it
Hazel eyes, an artists hand
She plays the clarinet in band
Better than the teacher
I say"That's hard to believe"
You say"You'll have to wait and see"
'Till I'm at the concert next Friday
I remind you I'm not there to watch ten potheads smacking snares
Or hear an hour of shitty music"Who else would you be there to see?""Some asshole playing trumpet three"
You say"I pray you don't mean me"
Both like liquor and vaccinations
Shots only hurt for short durations
I'll give you yours and you'll be taking mine
Please pretend to be my friend after all this time
Conference calling with a ghost
Who had to take what she loved most
Just to say"Please tell her now"
You wonder if I've gone insane
I say"Just ask the mental crane
Who's begging you to take her out"
So the next day after class, you're at her locker and you ask"Don't you wanna dance with me?"
Suffering a heart attack
'Cause once you know she likes you back
There's no more help that I can be
Both like liquor and vaccinations
Shots only hurt for short durations
I'll give you yours and you'll be taking mine
Please pretend to be my friend after all this time
