Too Much

First day, big school
Trying to keep my trepidation hid
Shrink along the corridors
Feeling out of place, feeling like a fool

"So you're the new kid?
You're kinda cute, what's up with you?"
I wanna say something cool so bad
But my face goes bright red

Too much desperation
For a casual conversation
Way too much information
To try and bridge the distance at all

"Okay cool, I'll see you around,"
She laughed and my whole body cringed
No wait, let me try again
I could really use a friend
But once I start I can never shut my mouth
I go on and on and on in a drone
Until even, I'm not listening

Too much desperation
For a casual conversation
Way too much information
To try and bridge the distance at all

How long do I pretend I'm ok
Before I actually feel ok
And when will someone come along
And say buddy it don't work that way
Don't let yourself be buried here for always

"How'd it go today?"
Comes the question in the quiet car ride home
"Pretty good, I guess"

Too much desperation
For a casual conversation
Way too much information
To try and bridge the distance at all
