Retarded
friday night was outta sight. we didn't have
a single fight. but saturday you totally changed. you said
forget about being engaged. do you see what i can see, when i see
you beating me. but it's alright, it's just a game. you are
so retarded, i must be retarded too. you're afraid of what i started.
i guess you didn't want something new. everything is so retarded.
expected more after all that we've been through. i can't believe
i'm still in love with you. if my friends only knew what you do.
they tell me not to bother to parlez to vous. i should leave but
my damn love won't. i'm so used to this where else can i go.
they can see what i can see. when she's in my company. but
it's alright. it's just a game. i can't believe you're so retarded.
Me And Rene
it really shouldn't be so hard being in love with
you. i wish i didn't feel so dumb feeling the way i do. but
every time you call my name i go crazy. i need a little time, and
a little time baby. to figure out these doubts you've got to lose.
sometimes it's hard to be in love with you. i wish you'd let other
guys know that i am the only one. cause every time you start flirting
it just ruins all my fun. every time i think i've won, you say maybe.
i need a little more to stick around baby. so drop these games or
someone's gonna lose. sometimes it's hard to be in love with you.
i always thought that you would be the one for me. but every time
you call my name... sometimes it's hard to be in love with you.
No Kind Of Superstar
i tried a couple of times to be the round peg,
round hole guy. but i was always way too square. i kept waking
up on the bus in my underwear. always one step off, always one beat
behind. with bad sneakers or dumb hair. will i ever get there?
i know i'll never be the number one that everybody wants to talk to.
i know i'll always be the fat kid on the bus everybody's a jerk to.
a freakin' jerk to. no kind of superstar. computer dungeons
dragons drama. band geek a la mode.
New Shirt
i got a new shirt for school yesterday and my mom
said i looked real handsome in it. i got a new shirt, i got a new
shirt. cause i thought you might like me in it. i got a new
shirt, i got a new shirt. cause i thought you might like me yeah.
i got a new shirt, i got a new shirt. cause i thought maybe you might
wear my ring if i wore that striped, short sleeved shirt.
Heather Lewis
heather lewis, heather lewis. when you left
for college i thought you would visit. heather lewis, heather lewis.
tell me why you had to go so far away. i thought you'd call me cause
you would miss me. i guess i understand you're busy. i thought
you'd write me because you liked me. do you even think about me?
i know i'm dull compared to sororities and i don't like to go to parties.
but i thought for sure that i meant more to you than anybody. heather
lewis. i thought you'd call me cause you would miss me. i never,
ever thought you'd dis me. i thought you'd write me because you liked
me. sometimes i think you just forgot me. i know i'm dull...
heather lewis... i thought you knew it.
Your Summer Dresses Bore Me
i called you up to say i'm sorry and that we deserve
a second chance. but you won't pick up the phone. you just
won't pick up the phone. and i sat around all day just thinking of
what you never meant to me. but you won't pick up the phone.
you just won't pick up the phone. i guess i'm better off alone.
cause your summer dresses bore me. just like everything you do.
i could wait around forever, but i won't wait long for you. i called
you up to say i'm sorry and i wished i never fell for you. but you
won't pick up the phone. you just won't pick up the phone.
i guess i'm better off alone. cause your summer dresses bore me.
just like everything you do. i could wait around forever, but i won't
wait long for you.
Just Like You
it's just like you to want to hate me, but never
take the time to date me. and i'll still sit around thinking of you.
i took you to the big makeout spot and carved your name in every desktop.
now you want to see somebody new. that's just like you. i know
you think that i'm just so lame, but it's still hard when i hear your name.
maybe someday i'll get over you. i tried real hard not to get bitter,
but all your stupid girlfriend jitters make me do things that i can't undo.
that's just like you. and if it's someone more special, well i don't
want to know him. and if it's somewhere more special, i don't want
to go there. we never really could get started, cause you just left
me broken hearted. thinking about things we'll never do. like
wanting to hang out together. asking you to wear my sweater.
i hope it's fun to hurt me like you do. that's just like you.
Teenage Love Affair
you've got a lot of nerve to say you want to be
my girl when i saw you and him kissing in front of the school. and
last saturday i went down to the soda shop and saw you two standing near
the jukebox and he didn't even hold your hand. but how can i say
that you're my fave and that it's true. i'm so in love with you.
now i've been crying every night, without you it just don't feel right.
but i'll pray to the teenage dream that someday you'll come back to me.
and i saw him the other day and he told me that you went away. because
you're still in love with me. and i'm as happy as can be. but
how can i say that you're my fave. i can't believe you're so in love
with me.
Superbus 23
i see you sitting on your pretty little schoolbus.
you're probably thinking, yeah just a little too much. c'mon and
touch me baby. we'll talk about it later. you know i can find
me another tenth grader.
Clumsy Shy
since i met you it's been so cool just hanging
out and being with you. and all the stupid things we do. you
lended me your favorite records, so we could dance to them together.
and i hoped we'd be, i hoped we'd be kind of just like this forever.
i wrote a note everyday to you, to let you know that you've turned into
a clumsy, shy boy's dream come true. and that you were the girl from
the start. who'd always hold the key to my heart. and i hoped
we would, i hoped we would never ever be apart. hard to believe with
all we've been through, i've known you better than i don't know who.
but it feels just like, it feels just like the very first time i ever kissed
you.
Varsity Sweater
there goes that girl in the varsity sweater.
that girl with her boyfriend's letter. that girl in the varsity sweater's
got a crush on me. she's always making eyes at me and passing notes
in history to find out if there's any chance of her and me and teen romance.
and all the school thinks i'm a fool to mess around with the football captain's
girl, but that girl's got a crush on me. she waits for me at every
class and flirts with me each time we pass, to let me know that she's for
me and not in love with her steady. and all the school thinks i'm
a fool to mess around with the football captain's girl, but that girl's
got a crush on me. there goes that girl in the varsity sweater.
Got Beat Up
got beat up on friday night, i don't know where
i'm going. i got beat up on saturday and i don't know what to do.
i called my older brother at school. he said, "fight your own battles."
i feel so stupid and dumb every time they kiss me.
Running Stupid
the air is thick and mean and i am soaking wet.
i swear to God i'm full of holes. i can't find an overhang and i
can't find a face. the puddles keep seeping through my soles.
remember what you said, if ever i should need a friend it's you.
well a friend indeed is exactly what i need. that and some shoe goo.
i remember all those rainy nights we ran hand in hand, splashing around
'til nearly dawn. i know why you went away and i know you're coming
back. it's so hard to appreciate it while you're gone. the
street is filled with losers. the sky is full of clouds and i am
full of crap if i think i can take this town. no sense of direction,
no black or white. i'm running stupid into the night.
Heartbreak Sandwich
you gave me a heartbreak sandwich when you went
to college. you just picked up and left to learn about the environment.
i wanna forget you, didn't want ta let you leave town without telling me
we're something you'll remember. and it all fell down, when i didn't
call you up. i hope now we can spend some honest time if you come
home. i know i gave you a dirt sandwich. when you needed to
cry and i wanted to kiss. the picture we ended up painting was of
a plate and a half eaten sandwich. meaning we always took what we
wanted and left the rest. i don't wanna forget you but i'm gonna
let you go on with your life, while i trudge through mine.
