Too Much

[Verse]
First day, big school, tryin' to keep my trepidation hid
Shrink along the corridors, feeling out of place, feeling like a fool
"So you're the new kid, you're kind of cute, what's up with you?"
I want say something cool so bad but my face goes bright red

[Chorus]
Too much desperation for a casual conversation
Way too much information to try and bridge the distance at all

[Verse]
"Okay, cool, I'll see you around," she laughed and my whole body cringed
No, wait, let me try again, I could really use a friend
But once I start I can never shut my mouth
I go on and on and on in a drone until even I'm not listening

[Chorus]
Too much desperation for a casual conversation
Way too much information to try and bridge the distance at all

[Bridge]
How long do I pretend I'm okay, before I actually feel okay?
Then some come along and say "buddy, it don't work that way"
Don't let yourself be buried here for always
"How'd it go today" comes a question in the quiet car ride home
"Pretty good, I guess"

[Chorus]
Well, too much desperation for a casual conversation
Way too much information to try and bridge the distance at all
