Lyrics
The Awkward Ones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It must have been October the last time that we spoke
And though I think about you, I decided that
It’s safer where we left it, safer for us both
That stuff was a million years ago
When you got accepted I went loopy, hoping you’d be on my team
When you got accepted I was totally ridiculous
We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered
And I still feel the same
Still dreading the laughter, like what does it matter? It’s not what I’m after anyway
I won’t take a compliment, but I will ruminate for hours on a single mean remark
Collecting them like ornaments, the nasty things that people say that I save up to think about when it gets dark
When you got accepted I went loopy, hoping you’d be on my team
When you got accepted I was right
Ten years later I’m so glad that it’s over
But I can’t help feeling like I did that October day
