lyrics

I DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT YOU. WELL I’M LOOKIN TO LEARN.
BUT EVERY LIBRARY AND RESOURCE COMES UP NULL AND VOID
LEAVES ME FEELIN LIKE A LOSER IN A WINNERS WORLD
LEAVES ME FEELIN LIKE A WEIRDO WITH NO SOCIAL SKILLS AT ALL

I WON’T REJECT YOU, BUT I DON’T HAVE THE NERVE
TO APPROACH YOU, I’M NOT THAT SELF ASSURED
MY BRAIN WAVES TAKE A LONG TIME TO FEEL COMFORTABLE
LEAVES ME FEELIN LIKE A WEIRDO WITH NO SOCIAL SKILLS AT ALL

YOU’LL FIND THAT I’M AMUSING AND BORDER LINE READY TO GO OUT OF MY MIND
BUT OH GOOD GOD I’D LIKE SO MUCH TO MAKE YOU A PART OF MY LIFE

SILLY OLD LOVE SONGS IS ALL THAT I WRITE
HIDDEN BEHIND STORIES WITH MORALES DIPPED IN LIES
THEY HELP ME FEEL BETTER. THEY LET ME FEEL CLOSER.
CLOSER TO YOU, EVEN THOUGH I’VE LEARNED NOTHING NEW

SO I’LL WORK FOR THE CIRCUS FOR MONTHS ON END
JUST FOR INFORMATION AND SOME DAILY BREAD
I’D PIECE TOGETHER CHIT CHAT AND MUFFLED TWO CENTS
FROM GOSSIPING LADIES AND THEIR OVERWEIGHT KIDS

YOU’LL FIND THAT I’M AMUSING AND BORDER LINE READY TO GO OUT OF MY MIND
BUT OH GOOD GOD I’D LIKE SO MUCH TO MAKE YOU A PART OF MY LIFE

BUT I’M LEFT AS A WEIRDO, JUST A WEIRDO WITH NO SOCIAL SKILLS AT ALL
BUT OH GOOD GOD I’D LIKE SO MUCH TO MAKE YOU A PART OF MY LIFE.
