First day, big school, tryin' 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 kind of cute, what's up with you?
I want 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 okay, before I actually feel okay?
Then some 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 a question in the quiet car ride home
Pretty good, I guess

Well, too much desperation for a casual conversation
Way too much information to try and bridge the distance at all
