i'm standing outside your window
waiting for you to look out
on the other side
my parents are having a cookout
i tried to talk to you a lot
but i always gave up
i wanted to elope
for that i will save up
they stare at me
they can't believe
that i would talk to you
so they set out to deceive
me
and it was all a setup
that had me telling everyone to get up
get away from me
i shout at them
i don't want you
let me be
i cant wait
till i finally get a chance
to show everyone
that i can't dance
i didn't come this far to give up now
im creeping
and sleeping
and heeping
and jeeping
like a shadow
of something that lived millions of years ago
feel me crash
and the blood flow
the pain of rejection
i try not to feel
apparantly you've given your
approval seal
so i wait here
for you
silently calling your name
my friends told me
she's not interested in you or me
can't you just leave it be
but no
im hardheaded to a fault
so in case someone sees me im off
like willie gault
finally she gets out of bed
to see who's calling
is that you, antwan??
no, it's linus pauling
of course its me
standing here
she threw a shoe
and hit my ear
get away, go home
go to hell
before you end in a jail cell
finally i knew
it was all for nothing
that there was someone else
that she was sucking
so i flipped her the bird
but inside i hurt like hell
then i tripped over a branch running away
and
i
fell
i had come too far
now i had to give up
