First day, big school Trying to keep my trepidation hid Shrink along the corridors Feeling out of place, feeling like a fool "So you're the new kid? You're kinda cute, what's up with you?" I wanna say something cool so bad But my face goes bright red Too much desperation For a casual conversation Way too much information To try and bridge the distance at all "Okay cool, I'll see you around," She laughed and my whole body cringed No wait, let me try again I could really use a friend But once I start I can never shut my mouth I go on and on and on in a drone Until even, I'm not listening Too much desperation For a casual conversation Way too much information To try and bridge the distance at all How long do I pretend I'm ok Before I actually feel ok And when will someone come along And say buddy it don't work that way Don't let yourself be buried here for always "How'd it go today?" Comes the question in the quiet car ride home "Pretty good, I guess" Too much desperation For a casual conversation Way too much information To try and bridge the distance at all
