a peek into another reality
It’s the kinda deal if this was a 2000s Disney sitcom
We’d be the Season Five confession at homecoming or prom
The holding hands, the bubble tea in the park, we’d be in a band or something
You a straight A princess type and me the best friend next door
But I don’t want you to feel like both your legs are fallen asleep
And I’m the wall you’re leaning against to stand up despite the puddles where your feet should be
And I don’t want to be the bad timeline of something that could’ve been just fine
If we weren’t so bored
God, we’re so bored so
This is a little guarantee
That if things mess up it’s purely because of me
And I should know better than to burden a friend I love with all of that
That’s what I’ve arrived at
This is a little guarantee
That I’m dumber than you think and more impulsive than you see
Which means half the choices I make are very half-baked so if Somehow that’s fine with you
This is what we’ll do
I wish I could be eloquent and write a song that could win a prize
Connecting various mythologies in a metaphor describing your eyes
But I’ve got the memory of a goldfish and no moral code
Though I might seem interesting at first I’ve really got no burdens to unload
So take this little thing I guess if it ever sees the light of day
Imagine if we knew these things before I went away
And like we discussed in last night’s texts at one AM
Here’s me romanticizing the idea of romance again
So this is a little guarantee
That if things mess up it’s purely because of me
And I should know better than to burden a friend I love with all of that
That’s what I’ve arrived at
This is a little guarantee
That I’m dumber than you think and more impulsive than you see
Which means half the choices I make are very half-baked so if somehow that’s fine with you
This is what we’ll do
I’m not sure what feelings I’ve tucked into my bookcase
And once I learn it might be too late
So please stop me from doing something dumb
Like, how did I flunk my placement tests
If my high school program was so great?
The classmates asked with “no offense”
Well, the answer’s I’m pretty dumb
But that’s not news to you so
This is a little guarantee
That if things mess up it’s purely because of me
And I should know better than to burden a friend I love with all of that
That’s what I’ve arrived at
This is a little guarantee
That if things mess up it’s purely because of me
And I should know better than to burden a friend I love with all of that
That’s what I’ve arrived at
This is a little guarantee
That I’m dumber than you think and more impulsive than you see
Which means half the choices I make are very half-baked so if somehow that’s fine with you
This is what we’ll do
This is what we’ll do
This is what we’ll do
What’ll we do?
What’ll we do?
