| She’s dropping out of school 'cause she don’t need the grades
|
| The colours in her hair don’t seem to fade
|
| I get dressed up when I go out
|
| But she gets dressed down
|
| She’s 17, I told her I’m 20
|
| I couldn’t take her out 'cause mom’s got no money
|
| It’s stuff like this that makes me wish
|
| That I could change somehow
|
| Sitting here at home
|
| It’s obvious she’s so out of reach
|
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
|
| She makes me feel, makes me feel
|
| Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying too hard
|
| 'Cause I’m not being me
|
| And it’s getting me down that
|
| She makes me think, makes me think
|
| That I try, that I try, that I’m trying too hard again
|
| She’s got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered
|
| I play guitar but she’s into drummers
|
| She’s seen my face around
|
| But she doesn’t even know my name
|
| I pierced my lip so she thinks I’m cool
|
| I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school
|
| I followed her around the town
|
| But she thinks that I’m a weirdo now
|
| Sitting here at home
|
| It’s obvious she’s so out of reach
|
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
|
| She makes me feel, makes me feel
|
| Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying too hard
|
| 'Cause I’m not being me
|
| And it’s getting me down that
|
| She makes me think, makes me think
|
| That I try, that I try, that I’m trying too hard again
|
| But now, who knew
|
| That she’s in the crowd of my show?
|
| Nothing to lose
|
| She’s standing right in the front row
|
| The perfect view
|
| 'Cause she came along on her own
|
| And there’s something that you should know
|
| You’re so out of reach
|
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
|
| You make me feel, you make me feel
|
| Yeah, she makes me feel, she makes me feel
|
| It’s obvious she’s so out of reach
|
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
|
| She makes me feel, makes me feel
|
| Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying too hard
|
| 'Cause I’m not being me
|
| And it’s getting me down that
|
| She makes me think, makes me think
|
| That I try, that I try, that I’m trying too hard again
|
| And again, and again, and again, and again
|
| 'Cause I’m trying too hard again
|
| And again, and again, and again, and again
|
| 'Cause I’m trying too hard again |
