Jamie, cheerlead captain
I wanted her to see me
I traced her in my yearbook and I wrote that she was pretty
I wore my hair like hers and I still do now
All those years I was boy crazy
Hoping they would validate me
But I'm still thinking 'bout Jamie
I'm just a teenager, a teenager again
I'm making sense of my adolescence
I look back on life wonder who I might have become
If I wasn't so hung up on men
I'm just a teenager, a teenager again
I'm kissing girls in the backyard in a tent
You could say that night was my flashing light
Maybe more than just fun so I hung it up
Katie, 10th grade English
I wanted her to read with me
And maybe if I made her laugh she'd kinda be into me
So I made my jokes but I choked when I got that smile
All those years pushing down those feels
Now I'm fantasizing the maybes
And I'm still thinking 'bout ladies
I'm just a teenager, a teenager again
I'm making sense of my adolescence
I look back on life wonder who I might have become
If I wasn't so hung up on men
I'm just a teenager, a teenager again
I'm kissing girls in the backyard in a tent
You could say that night was my flashing light
Maybe more than just fun so I hung it up
Oh, I hung it up
Obsessed with getting boys to pick me and destroy me
While I was looking at you
I was looking at you
Confessing to myself in silence I needed more
And I was looking at you
And I knew it'd be more than just fun
I'm just a teenager, a teenager again
I'm making sense of my adolescence
I look back on life wonder who I might have become
