Boy Without Batteries

You want to see something creepy?
Remember this?
It spent six years in my drawer
It doesn't smell like you anymore
But I can't throw it out so I ignore
But what's creepy
Is how I still think about how my life would be
If things worked out for you and me
But I'm a flake so don't take it too seriously

One of these days you'll stop pretending
I was only someone you could find a friend in
You didn't miss me
You were misdirected
You didn't kiss me
And I felt rejected

One of these days you'll stop pretending
You will be a little less condescending
And if you missed me then you missed your chance kid
The nerdy little freak no one wanted to dance with

But now it's fine
Your attention is not where I get my pride

You wanna know what the worst is?
Sometimes I think I've moved onto so much more
But sometimes I am not sure
And now and again I feel weak to the lure
But what's crazy is how no one made me feel quite like you
But that was so much to go through
At the end of the day
I don't know if I want them to

One of these days you'll stop pretending
I was always someone you could find a friend in
You didn't miss me
You were misdirected
You didn't kiss me
And I felt rejected

One of these days you'll stop pretending
You will be a little less condescending
And if you missed me then you missed your chance kid
The nerdy little freak no one wanted to dance with

So pick up your bags it's time to go
I could be the one who destroys everything (destroys everything)

And I'm like wishing we went back in time
Before you had your nine to five
I used to try and make you mine
But that bird never learned to fly
We're here now, here now
Both my hands are tied and I don't care

But now it's fine
Your attention is not where I get my pride

You wanna see something creepy?
