My World, My Words
A Time Long Gone
I can tell you exactly where I went wrong
It was back in sixth grade, a time long gone
When I first saw your face, something clicked
And from that moment my heart was fixed
I tried to flirt with you but it didn’t work
One of the first things you called me was a jerk
I tried to apologize and your heart I tried to win
But in the end I only got kicked in the shin
Try and try and try as I might
I could never seem to get things right
I tried for three years, grades 6,7,8
But I could never seem to get things straight
I finally thought to myself it’s over and done
This is an emotional battle I have not won
I thought that my crush on you was through
I thought I’d go on a couple of dates
I thought I’d start anew
But I could never make anything work
Because I compared every girl to you
I didn’t understand why I can’t
Get you outta my head
It was too heavy of a burden
One that my heart dreads
Back in the sixth grade
I didn’t know what to do
I didn’t know how to flirt
How to get with someone like you
Back in the sixth grade I was young and dumb
Now I am older and wiser but still dumb
I am much more mature then I was back then
I wont punch you in the arm
But you still might kick me in the shin
I wont call you little kiddy names
I am done playing little kiddy games
After five years of getting my heart broken
I know what chances to take, this one I’ve chosen
When I look into your beautiful eyes
I can see that somewhere deep inside
In your heart I have a spot
Whether you will admit it or not
I want you to let that spot on your heart grow
And let our relationship be beautiful as the moons glow
Let me take your hand, and give me one more chance
Will you go to with me to the homecoming dance?
