Embarrassing thing

It's been a while since I've written a blog post. School has gotten super crazy so I haven't had time to write anything interesting or funny. But I was struck with inspiration while brushing my teeth tonight.

There was a period of time during my sophomore year where I felt like the social scene at school was changing and I didn't like it. So, I did what any angsty teenager would do (though I would never have admitted I had teen angst back then...I mean, I was like, so mature): I wrote a song about it. I decided I should document the lyrics while I can remember them. I feel like it should be less embarrassing now because it's been seven years, but it's definitely still not cool. But that's what adolescence is for, right? So, picture some simple piano accompaniment, an upbeat, cliche chord progression, and a younger, lankier me singing my heart and anxiety out in my living room instead of doing homework.

(Here's a picture of me from around that time in high school, just for effect.)

Woke up this morning, went to school,
not expecting all this drama.
Suddenly they're all too cool,
and they've all got some trauma.
Since when has she been nice to me?
Since when is he a jerk?
All of this brings me to see that friends are too much work.

Now she's too cool and he's been playin'.
Why can't things just stay the same?
My world is spinning upside down,
And I just can't help feeling
Wish things would go back to the way
When friends weren't changing every day.
My world is spinning upside down,
I've crashed into the ceiling.

Now when I walk through the halls,
I'm in a different world.
New friends, new cliques, new pairs, and fights,
Old friendships have been hurled
Out the window, off the wall
It is chaos and I'm falling
Up, up, up.


Now she's too cool and he's been playin'.
Why can't things just stay the same?
My world is spinning upside down,
And I just can't help feeling
Wish things would go back to the way
When friends weren't changing every day.
My world is spinning upside down,
I've crashed into the ceiling.

Now go
Get away from me.
Who you tryin' to please?
Don't forget that I was there
Before you were
Too cool, no good, I won't forget you
Never let you
Bring me down
I frown
When I see you with your
Girlfriends, boyfriends, new friends, no friends
Now
Please don't make me sick.
I'm sick of all of this.
Never let you bring me down.
I cannot let you bring me down.

Because I've crashed into the ceiling,
And I just can't explain,
This overwhelming feeling,
That maybe I'm the one that changed...

NO! She's too cool and he's been playin'.
Why can't things just stay the same?
My world is spinning upside down,
And I just can't help feeling
Wish things would go back to the way
When friends weren't changing every day.
My world is spinning upside down,
I've crashed into the ceiling.

My world is spinning upside down,
I've crashed
Into
The ceiling.
