(Verse)
Eight years ago, I happened to befriend somebody who
Not only showed me a window to her superb world
But also opened the door. And yes - this is where
The listener should know that conversing with
Her was not to be the typical fluff. Oh, what
Can I say, that fascinating and wonderful
Girl snuffed the shyness out of a weird
And introverted computer buff. Ah, it was
Mighty tough - trying not to be a duffer while
In front of her. Used to badger her with a whole
Range of stupid questions, that if each of us were
Magicians - then in all likelihood - I definitely would
Have been from Hufflepuff. Anyway, so back when
My innocent mind was busy being buried within
A big bunch of boring books, she inspired a wailing
Heart to seek adventure, even if behaving really wacky
Or looking like a rookie is what it took. No string of words
Can ever allow you a sufficient explanation - as to just why
She matters to me so much - but please realize that without
Being touched and influenced by such a damsel, the wires
Inside my brain might have never fired neurons in a way
That would allow me to use utterly arbitrary and totally whimsical
Rhymes in order to let these emotions unfurl. But enough of all the waffle -
Now let us get to the main stuff. Suddenly, many were starting to see me wearing
This mop of curly hair - allegedly containing some dandruff. Because well -
People having almost the perfect combination of beauty and wit
Would prefer not to invest their precious time and waste
Energy mingling with blokes that are really weak
At being devilishly cool - and not woefully
Meek every single day of the week!
Folks, before she came along I absolutely wilted
Upon speaking to a crowd. Shuffled uneasily, always worried
About fumbling while talking - and would trudge everywhere wearily
Like there were some heavy rocks preventing both of my feet from lifting wholly
Off the ground. You see, this constant feeling of inadequacy made me want
To do everything in my power to keep her around. Found myself waiting
For hours online to discuss philosophies that were profound. Wishing
We could go roam outside on my scooter - during a wintry night or a windy
Day and trifling as it must sound, maybe play some badminton regularly! Wound
Up being quite sick of this nagging insecurity often ruffling me up - and whining
Regarding my lack of a sexy manly gruff. Here is a cute, little pearl of wisdom
To this day, it frequently hertz. But I decided to not stand idly by and watch
A great opportunity like this fly away. One had to see what it was worth
Destiny is not something predetermined at birth. Putting in a wholesome
Effort is probably the prudent thing to do. After all, what is really the worst
That could happen? Think I can afford to flunk a subject or two, as a wizardly
And astounding student - than to remain perennially a nervous and wimpy
Dude. Life is nothing but a game - and if I was to be in any position to win
Her heart - then I desperately needed to level up. Started to develop a wide
Variety of skills. Hooray, plenty of achievements are getting unlocked! Whoa -
Simply notice the metamorphosis! Bring on the band performances and witness
Me sitting outside the principal's office. A genius ignoring his studies and wiggling
Two middle fingers rebelliously in the face of any sort of authority - while posting way
Over four thousand photographs, all for the sake of some social status. Is watering
Down an alcoholic drink - or the hourly cigarette going to help deal with the wild
Side-effects of hormonal imbalances? There he goes, surreptitiously wallowing
In those sanguine fantasies, wrangling with his parents, dabbling in some wistful
Literature, and using music to cope with the force of an existential crisis. Warning
Signs and the occasional misstep in this amazing diegesis, will obviously not warrant
The softening of my policies. Was it a fallacy, to honestly believe that even I could woo
Lasses like that - instead of taking the counsel and advice of some psychologist or walk
Right into a mental hospital?! Although she was a dream come true! An angel who wafted
Down from the clouds above, embraced me until I fell in love and began gently whispering..
(Chorus)
Hey pretty soul - what are you searching for?
Do you need some answers, or another surprise?
Hey pretty soul - what are you weeping for?!
Is it that same old song - bothering your mind?
How hard is it to find your smile?
Just to make a few things alright
Ohhhhhhh - when will you learn
To walk away and say goodbye?!
