Second Grade

In the schoolyard, we would play
Me and Ashley every day
Back in Clovis second grade
Second grade
So, Brittney was Ashley's friend
I had Brandon and Quinn
I'd do math work for all of them
All of them

I like-liked Ashley, Brittney like-liked me
Ashley like-liked Harrison, I'm as jealous as can be

So I bought her a ring
It was plastic from a vending machine
It was U.S. flag-themed
Flag themed

Happenstance eroded, I wasn't a real person yet
And I assume that most of us feel the same
Happenstance eroded, I wasn't a real person, yet
For years my eyes were darkened with shame

Ashley was a queen
Of mixed signals, threw the ring
In the trashcan of all things
She could do
But then Ashley agreed
To kiss me behind the swings
I was nervous... excitedly

Recess bell sounded, we made our way to the scene
We closed our eyes together and what happened was a dream

I kissed Ashley,
then Brittney
Jessica,
Audrey,
Maya,
Emily,
and Quinn

Happenstance eroded, I wasn't a real person yet
And I assume that most of us feel the same
Happenstance eroded, I wasn't a real person, yet
For years my eyes were darkened with shame
