lyrics

Glitter glam,
First week of fall.
Laughter floating from high school stalls.
Rock my world,
As the books tumble and fall.
Said a name,
Gave a wink.
Collective awe as you leave.

Six foot four,
Left me begging for more.
Take flight through that back gym door.
You saved the day with electric wheels.
My head spins into that rhythm and reels.

There's no poetry today, my dear.
No poetry today, my dear.
There's no poetry today, my dear.
No poetry today, my dear.

Carved promises in public pine,
Don't you try to say you're not mine.
Letter jackets and rumors swirl,
Spread on perfume of perfect girl.

Locker love isn't built to last,
Word spreads quick after class.
Hurry quick,
Pass your heart in a note.
“Be my bittersweet”,
Is all she wrote.

You said to say something beautiful.
I should've said something beautiful before you left.
You said to say something beautiful.
I should've said something beautiful before you left.

There's no poetry today, my dear,
No poetry today, my dear.
There's no poetry today, my dear.
No poetry today, my dear.

There's no poetry today, my dear,
No poetry today, my dear.
There's no poetry today, my dear,
No poetry today, my dear.

There's no poetry today, my dear.
No poetry today, my dear.
