I Wrote This Song


When I first started writing this, I swear
My intentions were well
And I'd start with maybe a memory or two
But then I saw you for the first time in a while
And awkward thoughts brought awkward smiles
And I left your room for the very last time

And I know that I can't sleep
With all of these things, that are running through my head
So I stayed up, and I

I wrote this song about you
Isn't that cliché of me to do?
But it's nothing for you
The band just needed something more to play
So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name
'Cause you know I wouldn't go that far, no

Now I, I've watched these years disperse and still this verse lacks words
And I'm losing all but a memory or two
'Cause now I see you, and I can't hold back a smile
Your fashion's long gone out of style
And there's nothing left to impress me anymore

'Cause I know that I can't see
That same girl that I had known so long ago
So I gave up, and I

I wrote this song about you
Isn't that cliché of me to do?
But it's nothing for you
The band just needed something more to play
So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name
'Cause you know that I wouldn't go that far
No, I wouldn't go that far

And you're dying to know
If a "thank you" will show up on my back sleeve
But I don't think I'll tell
Of who crafted this hell and fixed it on me
To the world
I wrote this song
I wrote it about you
I wrote this song all about you
Yeah, the band just needed one more song to play
Yeah, the band just needed one more song to play
Yeah

I wrote this song about you
Isn't that cliché of me to do?
But it's nothing for you
The band just needed something more to play
So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name
'Cause you know I wouldn't go that far
No, I wouldn't go that far
No, I wouldn't go that far
No, I wouldn't go
