lyrics

Fifth grade, first period
Our eyes met across the room
I was young and you were dumb
But still our passion loomed

You thought I was gross
And I though you were too
But that's the way these things go
Love makes you its fool

And I know you get sad sometimes
And frankly I don't
But the only reason you remember me
Is this deep, abiding, self-defeating dream you keep having

We spent the next four years
Actors in your play
Remember that the people
Who love you most always stay

In case you couldn't tell
Your own spells hurt the worst
I used to think you were sweet
But dude, you're fucking cursed

And I know you get sad sometimes
And frankly I don't
But the only reason you remember me
Is this deep, abiding, self-defeating dream you keep having

Read my lips as I say
You'll get along anyway
Anyhow, any hope you had is gone
And was a long, long time ago
Turn it over in your head
And listen to the things I've said
And notice how my hands keep shaking
That's not from the pills I've been taking
It's you
That's true
But your truth needs to pass your border checks
And all your swampy, sweaty emotions
They collect
And they pile
And I smile
Because I know that if I smile
You just might leave

Good thing you'd never listen to me

So that's -- where was I now?
I'm losing track of what you --
Don't mention it, we're fine here
You had a crush on who?

I swear I didn't know
But that was in the past and
Gee, I do agree
Nice guys finish last

It's such a shame but honestly
You're better off without me
I was so superficial
Sensitive is sexy, yeah

And I'd love to stay and chat
But I've got big plans to prepare
Think fireworks (BLAM BLAM BLAM)
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you

Anyways, I must be going
Nice to talk to you again
It's been so long and I feel so bad
But you're such an awesome friend

Do you know I get sad sometimes?
That's silly, you won't
But the main reason I remember you
Is this deep, abiding, self-defeating dream I keep having
