Verse 1
I Got EOne Shoe On My Feet
I Told My AFriends I'd Go To The Parade But Waited Far Too Long To Leave
EI Met A Boy Last Week
And Then I ATold Him That I Liked Him, He Said That Was Pretty Bold Of Me, Now

Pre-Chorus 1
E Isn't It, Isn't It The AWay Things Always Go For Me?
E Honesty, Gets Misconstrued And AMet With Some Weird Apathy

Chorus
And Now I'm F#mSitting On The Couch With One FBoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The ERest Of Me Is Stuck InDside My C#Head
And I'm Just F#mTrying To Figure Out The Real WBay Things All Went Down
And Not The EWay I DWanted It InsC#tead

Verse 2
And EI Can't Comprehend
That When It AHappens In The Movies All Thе Actors Get A Second Chance
AndE Thе Audience All Cheers
But In AReal Life When You Show Your Cards, What You Thought Was Magic Disappears, Now

Pre-Chorus 2
E Isn't It, Isn't It EAxactly What Has Happened Here?
E Transparency Got Confused
Viewed Like Some ANarcissistic Party Trick But No One's Even Watching It

Chorus
And Now I'm F#mSitting On The Couch With One FBoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The ERest Of Me Is Stuck InDside My C#Head
And I'm Just F#mTrying To Figure Out The Real WBay Things All Went Down
And Not The EWay I DWanted It InsC#tead
