Same old story every morning
_____
We walk into class and whoever's first
_____
Grabs a seat in back and prays that this way
_____
It'll go fine and the Prof won't look there
_____
A message makes the phone vibrate
_____
I'm late, don't worry, how are you?
_____
As I read, a strong shiver shoots through me
_____
It runs slow and cold down my back
_____
Bet he'll pick me now
_____
Hey Prof, it's not that I don't know
It's that I don't feel like it
I'd like to stay here and I'd rather
Listen and then leave, you know
When everything goes wrong
_____
Turning it over, the word is clear
_____
I read it again with my heart in my throat
_____
If you think about it, a kid—you know—that's something
_____
If it ever happened, I'd want it with you
_____
Bet he'll pick me now
_____
Bet he'll pick me now
_____
Hey Prof, it's not that I don't know
It's that I don't feel like it
_____
Sitting there thinking
_____
I'd like to stay here and I'd rather
Listen and then leave, you know
_____
A day like this when everything goes wrong
_____
School's over and she's not outside
_____
My headphones pump the Beatles and Green Day
_____
Is this what you meant? Come on!
_____
Hey Prof, it's not that I don't know
It's that I don't feel like it
_____
Sitting there thinking
_____
And I'd rather listen and then go, you know
_____
A day like this when everything goes right
Prof, it's not that I don't know
It's that I don't feel like it
_____
Sitting there thinking
_____
I'd like to stay here and I'd rather
_____
Listen and then leave, you know
_____
Besides, she's here with me now
