i gotta tell you about the girl
i know what you’re thinking, but you’re right
it didn’t happen all at once
i didn’t fall without a fight

i watched from the back of my mind
she kept playing with her hair
suddenly she smiled at me
come on, that’s just not fair

cause i wanted someone to hold
through the summer heat, winter cold
i wanted that feeling, i wanted that girl
but this story ends in the real world

she said, “i can’t do what i dream”
but then spoke up in poetry
i offered my nice advice
but i could i feel her get to me

she’d claim innocence of the world
and she would prove it with her smiles
and i didn’t care that she didn’t care
nah, that’s just my denial
