Letters to the Girl Next

I

Remember those days when we walked along the path
Deep in the woods, behind the school
The path wasn't too easy to follow
At least it was just us
Out there for hours
Felt good, eh?
But things started to change,
We hit high school, and grew up,
Who knew you were the girl I would fall for
But it happened at the wrong time and I never did tell you
That I really did care

I hate how we found different friends
Mine were calmer, yours drank Mountain Dew
Mine played sports, yours were smart
And we drifted away and forgot each other
And its not like we'd talk in class
What I had Honors, you had regular
What you had Honors, I had regular
No class with the two of us

Guess that's High School for ya

II

Saw you and that guy locked at the lips the other day
I wanted to hurt him,
Rumor said you were happy
Do sources tell the truth?
Damn it why is it that I had to fall on my ass
For the girl who kicks ass
You'd kick my ass if I kicked your face fucker's ass
Damn why is it that everything boils down to the one fact
That all I want is you to be happy

But at least you look happy

III

Two summers ago you followed me to the park
Ninja's are quite
You were afraid for me weren't you
That's why you followed me
Isn't it?
You're a good ninja, ya know?
I saw it in your eyes when I walked by on Monday
You knew I was doing drugs
I'm glade that damn clich� isn't true
You know the one, if looks could kill and all that crap
That one you shot me on Monday
I knew you saw, you saw how stupid I was
Glade you still suck at hiding

IV

I wonder if someday I'll find you
Listening to the smooth grooves,
Maybe some of that death rock crap you like
Your being more antisocial then I used to
What's wrong with this picture
You used to have it all
But then something happened
You drifted away
You stopped talking to me
And that girl across the street
Now your just another kid on the our street
Wearing jeans and vintage tees
I'm guessing you still play Nintendo
But then again, I haven't talked to you
In maybe three years

But remember, I'm still the boy next door
We haven't moved but we've grown so far apart
