I'll put in all my hours
I'll play it every night just to get a little better at guitar
I'm taking singing lessons at 80 bucks a lesson
Who the hell am I impressin'
And why do I work so hard?
I'll search my soul to deep below, to find the answers
I think the reason for it, is
I was an ugly kid
With a handsome older brother
Yeah, I was a catch
Like a cold or an ugly fish
I knew what to do
Wear my talent like a mask and hope it magically distracts you
But I'm back, I've practiced
My act's together, I got better
And a point to prove
I didn't know her, in June I got her screen name
As valuable as gold for antisocial kids in tenth grade
I spent the rest of my vacation glued down to my chair, was
Afraid to miss a second of our digital affair, 'cause
When summer ended I could finally be the guy
I tried to be in person but could only be online
The first day of the school year, we get our seat assignments
I ended up right next to her and we just sat in silence
And I wouldn't wish that awkwardness on anybody
I think the reason for it, is
I was a chubby kid
With an athletic older brother
Yeah I was a catch
As in I was easy to catch during tag, 'cause I was fat
I knew what to do
I would chase a newer passion 'cause I'm sick of nothin' happenin'
But I'm back, I've practiced
My act's together, I got better
And a point to prove
And I have hit the bottom
And lost, tossed, and gosh, I've been burned by gossip
And I have gone full Hot Topic
Was an ugly duckling crossed with a few Hot Pockets
And I'll be damned if where I am's not what I worked for
I think the reason for it, is
I wasn't talented
When all I wanted was attention
And I was in no way, no way
A catch in life or love
I knew what to do
To do it cause I love it and well not my older brother, yeah
Now I'm just playing 'cause I've stopped dying from embarrassments
Hiding from comparisons
I'm driven
I got vision, time, ambition
And a point to prove
I'll play it every night just to get a little better at guitar
I'm taking singing lessons at 80 bucks a lesson
Who the hell am I impressin'
And why do I work so hard?
I'll search my soul to deep below, to find the answers
I think the reason for it, is
I was an ugly kid
With a handsome older brother
Yeah, I was a catch
Like a cold or an ugly fish
I knew what to do
Wear my talent like a mask and hope it magically distracts you
But I'm back, I've practiced
My act's together, I got better
And a point to prove
I didn't know her, in June I got her screen name
As valuable as gold for antisocial kids in tenth grade
I spent the rest of my vacation glued down to my chair, was
Afraid to miss a second of our digital affair, 'cause
