New notes

[]

I saw you in the choir third row to

the right

Singing off key but you still caught my

eye

New your mom from her mom

Your dad from the school

All my friends knew I liked him they

said whatever thats cool

So I watched you at lunch like I was a

spy

Taking mental notes like you were just a

guy

Then that girl swore she didn’t care

Then she liked you too man it just wasn’

t fair

They all told me just text him just say

how you feel

I knew how I liked you and it was way

too real

You said I’m not dating right now like

that changed how I feel

I lied about a fire extinguisher just to

say hi Pretended I was lost, just need

ed a sign

Now we’re texting… kinda… if you ever

reply

Yeah, you’re in band, I’m in memories

And my friends still root for you and me

But maybe it’s time to let this go

before highschool sends a set of new

notes notes oh a set of new notes notes

oh

I checked my phone like it owed me a

call

You’re just… busy, right? That’s

probably all

I Still laugh at the time I tripped in

the hall

You helped me up—I nearly lost it all

Your trumpet case hit my knee

Guess that’s love, at thirteen.

I rehearsed

what to say like a Broadway scene

But that last day of school just wasnt

as clean

You said, “Just friends,” and I said

“cool”

But dam I felt like such a fool

Yeah, I lied ‘bout the fire extinguisher

s just to say hi

Pretended I was chill, but inside I

could cry

Now we’re texting… barely… it’s a one

-way try

You’re in band, I’m still wishing in my

dreams

And my friends still ship us like it’s a

team

But maybe it’s time to let this go

Before high school sends a set of new

notes notes oh a set of new notes notes

oh

So here’s to fire extinguishers and

innocent lies

To silly crushes and teary goodbyes

You were my song, even if it’s the end

You never were my boyfriend, but I hoped

we were friends

Now I am blind to what boys can be and i

dont even hate you for not loving me an

d

I’m writing songs, getting you out of my

head

It’s time to let this story go

High school’s calling—to send new notes

notes oh a set of new notes notes oh

-a set of new notes.

-a set of new notes.
