A song all about Kris Roe’s major celebrity crush on Claire Danes, complete with references to her cult classic TV show “My So-Called Life” and “Romeo+Juliet.” Things take a dark turn, though, and he ends up in jail for stalking after stealing an airplane to do some skywriting and making a scene on...
Ever since I saw you on My So-Called Life
I've been writing you these letters asking you to be my wife
But it's been almost a year and still I've gotten no reply
I'm assuming you have met some other guy
So I sit in my room, watch Romeo & Juliet a thousand times
And I wish I was as cool as Leonardo is.
But I'm not
I went on Jerry Springer to confess my love to you
You said I didn't have a chance and there was nothing I could do
You told me I was crazy and wished that I was dead
You threw a chair right upside my head
Today I hijacked a plane
I wrote your name across the sky: Miss Claire Danes
But they were waiting on the ground
To take me straight to jail
I'm staring at your pictures from my lonely little cell
I'm writing you this letter to let you know I'm doing well
Until we meet again, you know I'll cry a thousand tears
And I'll see you in another twenty years
I'll see you in another twenty years
