I met a girl named Tara, and she lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies, listened to Puff Daddy, danced until her legs we sore
She worked around the corner, at a diner with a grouchy owner
And her boyfriend’s shady, dates another girl named Katie
He loves her, definitely maybe

Don’t think I can take it, wake me when it’s over
Seems so far away, I wish that it was closer
I see her everyday, I’m too scared to go over
Wonder what she’d say, I barely even know her

Chorus
How much longer? Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what she’s doin’ when I’m singin’ myself to sleep
He’s a faker, see ya later
I wonder when you’ll realize that you mean a lot more to me

I saw her in the hallway, everything seems to be alright
I said, “Yo, are ya goin’ to the party at the cove?’, she said
“He’s pickin’ me up at six again, and I don’t wanna disappoint my boyfriend”

Chorus

As she’s starin’ at his picture hangin’ in her locker
She’s tellin’ all the girls about all the things that he bought her
I saw what really happened all those times he went for water
When we were at the movie theater watchin’ Harry Potter
He had his hands on, every single girl he laid his eyes on
Hate to break it to ya, he’s a pylon and even when he kissed her
He was lookin’ over, starin’ at her sister

Chorus

Can’t take it, wake me when it’s over
Seems so far away, I wish that it was closer
I see you everyday, I’m too scared to go over
Wonder what she’d say, I barely even know her

Chorus
