lyrics

There was once a girl who said she didn’t want to go to bed
She wanted to stay awake and dream of lies instead
But if I was a professional singer about feelings I could sing
About this sincerely
And I wouldn’t have to wait for the words to come flowing in

Wipe your nose dry your eyes
It looks like 1975 and everyone’s outside
We left it off a spell ‘cause there’s always something left to tell
I’ll just be quiet and walk around you
At a party where the tension swells
Looking far to forward to have anything happen well
I can’t look anyone in the eye
I mumble hello and think goodbye
When did I become a wallflower at twenty-five?
