can i play?

sweat on my hands
they're making plans
as we all count down for recess

bell's gonna ring
everyone's talking
but no one's ever talking to me

i see them turn
i see them smile
could they be unlike the haters?

i think they could be
um, i guess they could
it could be good

can i play?
1, 2, 3
they run away and leave me be
i run and hide
1, 2, 3
sit and cry

can i play?
1, 2, 3
they stay away far from me
oh well I tried
1, 2, 3
i'll be just fine

i don't know their faces
they all have their places
and their back is all I'm seeing

they don't think i notice
they keep on talking
and everyone is talking about me

it stings when they laugh
but i wanna fit in
cuz loneliness is harder to take

don't wanna be lonely
maybe today?
they'll let me play?

can i play?
1, 2, 3
they run away and leave me be
i run and hide
1, 2, 3
sit and cry

can i play?
1, 2, 3
they stay away far from me
oh well I tried
1, 2, 3
i'll be just fine

it'll be okay, once i get home
i'll have my brother who won't be running away from me
we could play cards, we could play games
and i could feel like i belong somewhere again
somewhere again

can i play?
1, 2, 3
they run away and leave me be
i run and hide
1, 2, 3
sit and cry

can i play?
1, 2, 3
they stay away far from me
oh well I tried
1, 2, 3
i'll be just fine
