High School Royalty
Johnny took pictures of the girls at the village pool
To save for later but they didn't find it cool
Called the mayor but he closed his eyes
And I'd be lying if I said I was surprised
Three winters later and the mayor's dead
Saw a brown eyed doe and he shot her through the head
Paper mâché ricochet on a fragile heart
Got around and it tore the town apart
But that's not hard
November homecoming queen
Got a crown on her head and her heart on her sleeve
At a party with dirtbag, his hand up her skirt
Saying why are you crying you asked for it first and
Blackberry spiked lemonade
With a bottle of whiskey, a poison grenade
Can you give her a minute?
A second to breathe?
Pay respect to your darling
She's high school royalty
Asked her to meet you at the back of the baseball fields
You haven't been there since your neighbor's dog disappeared
Running late getting ready in the bathroom stall
Kissed her twice, didn't take that much at all
She looked so perfect in your champion sweatshirt
Gave it away you didn't think you would get hurt
Turned around thinking everything's alright
But she was making out with Johnny last Friday night
November homecoming king
Has a chip on his shoulder, he started to sing
Just like Hamlet and Caesar and Romeo to
Cuz he lives for the drama, and William told him to
Blackberry spiked lemonade
Oh you told her you loved her in late autumn shade
With her head on your shoulder your hand on her knee said
"Don't call me that darling, you're high school royalty"
High school royalty
Coffee stains and saltwater brains
The trials of the second grade
Your mama told you stay away
But that felt like a game to play
The tie-dye t-shirts, Sunday leisures
Hey you dropped your pencil on the floor
Don't leave that shit in your backpack
I hate you, but i love you more
November homecoming king
Made the greatest escape, oh you wouldn't believe
Ran away from the losers, the liars and cheats
It's no place for him darling
You have to let him be
Blackberry spiked lemonade
Oh he told her he loved her in late autumn shade
Could you give him a minute?
A second to breath?
Pay respects to your darling
He's high school royalty
High school royalty
To save for later but they didn't find it cool
Called the mayor but he closed his eyes
And I'd be lying if I said I was surprised
Three winters later and the mayor's dead
Saw a brown eyed doe and he shot her through the head
Paper mâché ricochet on a fragile heart
Got around and it tore the town apart
But that's not hard
November homecoming queen
Got a crown on her head and her heart on her sleeve
At a party with dirtbag, his hand up her skirt
Saying why are you crying you asked for it first and
Blackberry spiked lemonade
With a bottle of whiskey, a poison grenade
Can you give her a minute?
A second to breathe?
Pay respect to your darling
She's high school royalty
Asked her to meet you at the back of the baseball fields
