YOU'D THINK THAT I'D BE USED TO IT BY NOW

lyrics

Felt the warning signs in the air, I wanted more.
I sense a loving kindness behind the bravado.
I'm rather terrified of these emotions running in me.
And you're preoccupied with your new found popularity.
I’d surrender it all if you asked me.
I'd give you my whole, if you'd just notice me.
I’m right here with my heart in hand.
But you can’t see me through this faceless/dancing/stupid crowd.
Here I am - with/yet another crush to crush my spirit.
*2nd&3rd chorus*Stupid feelings I can't figure out.
So what am I to do with it?/What am I supposed to do with it?
*3rd chorus* I wish I could be through with it.
You’d think that I’d be used to it by now.
I remember that time when you wore that funny shirt.
I can't remember the line, but it made my jaw hurt.
And that time you said hi, stole a smoke n' said I should quit.
I play it over in my mind more often than I'll admit.
You're obnoxious and rude - but I want you so bad.
A crass attitude - damn, why do I love that?

They’re all losing their minds over the hairier one.
It's gonna take more stile to get my attention....
