Picking on the redhead at lunch
She comes down slow
She doesn't need to know
Thinking of her in the evening and
I don't know how to say hello
Hey
She doesn't like secret philosophy's
She don't believe in politics
Let's lie and say ok, let's just try to stay
Awake when she calls, and it's gluttony
Or maybe it's just jealousy, when I stare into vacancy
Excuses down my sleeve when I try to talk to her
She just gets up and leave
Too fast for my brain, and I try to comprehend
What she communicates
Cause she thinks I'm a freak, but I took a peak
At all the things that we can be and
Rolling her eyes, when shit hits the fan
Been like that since 1979 and
She breathes like that, both lungs collide
Intestines twitch and intertwine then
She looks at me, and she wants to see
All the things that we can be
And I was
Crushing on you in the ninth grade
Pulling on my hair, just trying to stay
"yeah, yeah"
"she was pulling on my hair"
Superficial intimacy it always comes in pairs
Let's just be friends
Ugh, oo woo
Pleading till I bleed, Ripped jeans and scraped knees
Wide eyed and High needs
"High needs"
She just likes to be right
Everyone is wrong when all she does is fight
Cleaning up conversation as the tension ends
Riding downtown wondering how it ever ends
Picking up broken pieces, holding them together
Like it never happened in the first place
She keeps dragging us out
And I've been waiting around, patient till now
But she's just as stubborn as me
Don't give an inch, doesn't know what she's talking about
Hoping it all comes crashing down
I don't know what you're talking about
I don't know Whatchu talking about
Cause she thinks I'm a freak, but I took a peak
At all the things that we can be and
Rolling her eyes, when shit hits the fan
Been like that since 1979 and
She breathes like that, both lungs collide
Intestines twitch and intertwine then
She looks at me, and she wants to see
All the things that we can be
"so like why didn't you ever say anything?"
"I don't know, I guess I didn't know what to say"
"you shoulda said something"
"I know I know, I was scared"
"well what if I liked you too?"
"wait did you? why didn't you say anything?"
"well I was scared, you didn't say anything either."
"So what are we now"
