5th grade dream

(one, two,

three, go!)

Back of the chemistry class again

Doodling stars on my notebook pen

You're laughing loud in the second row

With everyone I will never know

I drop my books on the locker floor

Watching you head for the exit door

And every hallway feels a mile wide I choke on all the

words I hide

Are you ever gonna notice me?

'Cause I'm just an outsider looking in Waiting for my teenage dream

to begin

You're out of reach,

you're the morning sun

I'm just a quiet kid on the run

Yeah, I'm screaming out your name in the dark

(in the dark!) Wishing for a single spark

Bleachers are empty on Friday night

Skate down the driveway beneath the light

You posted photos downtown at eight I guess I showed up a

year too late

Strumming chords till my fingers bleed

Wondering what kind of guy you need

And every hallway feels a mile wide I choke on all the

words I hide

Are you ever gonna notice me?

'Cause I'm just an outsider looking in Waiting for my teenage dream

to begin

You're out of reach,

you're the morning sun

I'm just a quiet kid on the run

Yeah, I'm screaming out your name in the dark (in the dark!)

Wishing for a single spark

Maybe someday we will leave this town

Before our tired feet hit the ground

Would you look back if I ran to you?

Or am I just a face you knew?

(tell me now!)

'Cause I'm just an outsider looking in

Waiting for my teenage dream to begin!

You're out of reach,

you're the morning sun I'm just a quiet kid on the run

Yeah, I'm screaming out your name in the dark

(in the dark!) Wishing for a single spark (just a single spark!)

Just a single spark (hey!)
