Under the Bleachers

We were always a little weird
Our story was never normal
There's something about both of us
Our plotline's not conventional
I always wanted my life to be a movie
With me as the main character
But everything turned out so strange
Happily, crazily, ever after

I wish we could be more
Under the bleachers
Secret admirer, notes in your locker
Longing looks across the hallway
Complimenting our sneakers
There is no screen to be seen by a spector
No cameras, no director

I always wanted that cliche
Of high-school sweethearts pining
But the gods of fate have decided to
Have horrible, awful, terrible timing
Our circumstances messed it up
Our brains are not the best
I wish that we could come of age
The same way as the rest

I wish we could be more
Under the bleachers
Talking all night and debating about
Whether or not I should ask you out
Homecoming dances
Looks from our teachers
I get no prom queen crown or scepter
No cameras, no director

There is no screen to be seen by a spector
No cameras, no director
I get no prom queen crown or scepter
No cameras, no director
You're not a pick-up line collector
No cameras, no director
People are mean but you're not my protector
No cameras, no director

I'm not a sudden sign inspector
No cameras, no director
We've got a pretty strong bisector
No cameras, no director
Our phones are our only connector
No cameras, no director
Even though you're sweet as nectar
No cameras, no director

I wish we could be more
Under the bleachers (under the bleachers)
Sunlight in thin lines (sunlight in thin lines)
Illuminating your eyes
Thinking of kissing
But we're nervous creatures
Even though you're sweet as nectar
No cameras, no director
