lyrics
It started at 7:00
I rolled up in my car and it read 7:25 on my watch.
My clothes didn't seem to match
and my hair was a rat's nest.
I conversed with a blank stare as my eyes shifted to the left.
I'm giving up- this conversation has ceased.
She makes my pretty words seem silly.
Impress you? What a laugh! I'm though.
Am I the most awkward man alive, or just in the room?
"It looks like rain", I said to one patron, even though the sun was perfect in the sky.
My fingers started to twitch as I ended my statement, and made my way to her side.
"So...". I trailed on, and proceeded to tell her
how I break a $20 every night.
She's thinking I'm out of my mind.
I'm giving up- this conversation has ceased.
She makes my pretty words seem silly.
Impress you? What a laugh! I'm though.
Am I the most awkward man alive, or just in the room?
I'm giving up- this conversation has ceased.
She makes my pretty words seem silly.
Impress you? What a laugh! I'm though.
Am I the most awkward man alive, or just in the room?
