Gatekeeper
I see you and I want to know you
You're hot and you move and socialize with such grace
Good at everything and you're well read too
Got your shit together in a worthless place
I watch and I daydream and I work up the courage
And if you pushed me away, then it would devastate me
If you don't think I'm smart, I'm not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, I'm not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
There can be nothing in the world of which I am worthy
When you finally condescend to meet me
You're not giving me a lot but I've still got hope
Every day's a new day when you might see
What you never see, that I'm worth getting to know
I laugh and tell stories when I know you're in earshot
But every time it's worse when your interest never stirs
If you don't think I'm smart, I'm not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, I'm not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
There can be nothing in the world of which I am worthy
But hell if I'm just going to let you be
The gatekeeper to a world that doesn't want me
And as I read the highbrow papers
With my morning oatmeal like I've got some direction
I think how there'd be nothing cooler
Than for me to shrug off an inconsequential rejection
And I don't care how far this cost has sunk, I'm done
And I know that even if I can never attract you, I have value
If you don't think I'm smart, you're not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, you're not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
Then I'm the one who decides that I am worthy
If you don't think I'm smart, you're not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, you're not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
Then I'm the one who decides that I am worthy
You're hot and you move and socialize with such grace
Good at everything and you're well read too
Got your shit together in a worthless place
I watch and I daydream and I work up the courage
And if you pushed me away, then it would devastate me
If you don't think I'm smart, I'm not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, I'm not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
There can be nothing in the world of which I am worthy
When you finally condescend to meet me
You're not giving me a lot but I've still got hope
Every day's a new day when you might see
What you never see, that I'm worth getting to know
I laugh and tell stories when I know you're in earshot
But every time it's worse when your interest never stirs
If you don't think I'm smart, I'm not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, I'm not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
There can be nothing in the world of which I am worthy
But hell if I'm just going to let you be
The gatekeeper to a world that doesn't want me
And as I read the highbrow papers
With my morning oatmeal like I've got some direction
I think how there'd be nothing cooler
Than for me to shrug off an inconsequential rejection
And I don't care how far this cost has sunk, I'm done
And I know that even if I can never attract you, I have value
If you don't think I'm smart, you're not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, you're not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
Then I'm the one who decides that I am worthy
If you don't think I'm smart, you're not smart
If you don't think I'm cool, you're not cool
If you want nothing to do with me
Then I'm the one who decides that I am worthy
