lyrics

middle school soccer team
bench warm king
i practice like the other boys
but never can keep up the speed

i’m good at other things

like filling up my notebook
with superhero scenes
and writing little poems
for you, that you’ll never read

i’d need more self-esteem

but sometimes i think maybe
you feel the same way about me

high school freaks
all give me the creeps
i don’t ever wanna grow up
i don’t wanna get mean

or hurt anything

i see you in geography
you talk to me at lunch
i never care to say it
but to me you mean a bunch

and that’s enough i’m too shy for this

but sometimes i think maybe
you think the same thing about me

and next chance i get
i think i might tell you everything

sitting on the bleachers
playing with my hands
i pick be a little dandelion
and hand it to you
smiling down at your shoes
