1
I was gonna get up off that bar stool
2
Just as soon as I could figure it out

Why I was overlooked at the car pool

11
Yeah, read all about it

16

I was just mixing up some chemicals

You could've heard a pin drop, could have heard time crawl
20

Maybe some paper doll with a pasted on smile
23
Would let you write her number down
24
