Lyrics:
DAD GOT HIS EAR PIERCED, HE’S 49
UNEMPLOYMENT ISN’T TREATING HIM FINE
HE TRIES ON MY CLOTHES
AS IF THEY’LL MAKE HIM COOLER
MOM’S STILL WORKING ON SOME LAWYER CASE
SHE’S NEVER HERE,
I’M FORGETTING HER FACE
AND I’M AFRAID
OF WHAT DAD MIGHT TAKE UP NEXT

PETER BOOKED HIS NEXT BIG ROLE
BUSSING TABLES
HE SAYS IT’S A STRETCH FOR HIM
BUT ME, SURPRISINGLY,
I’M DOING GREAT,
BECAUSE TODAY

ME AND MR. POPULARITY
WILL BE SPENDING MORE TIME YOU SEE,
‘CAUSE HE NEEDS A TUTOR FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNTIL THE SEMESTER’S END
AND FOR ME THIS IS THE CLOSEST THING
TO HAVING A FRIEND

TWO WEEKS LATER AND THINGS ARE NEAT
SOMETIMES HE WAVES TO ME ON THE STREET,
BUT THAT’S ONLY WHEN
THERE’S NO ONE IN SIGHT
I COULD TAKE IT PERSONALLY,
BUT WE’RE NOT HANGING,
JUST TUTORING AND IT’S FINE –
I UNDERSTAND MY ROLE

BUT TODAY, HE CAME TO ME,
IT WAS KINDA NEW
ASKED IF I WANTED TO SMOKE WITH HIM SOME NIGHT
AND I SAID,
“UM WELL, I’VE NEVER SMOKED BEFORE BUT ALRIGHT!”

ME AND MR. POPULARITY
WILL BE ENGAGING IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY
GUESS HE’S TIRED OF COMPUTER SCIENCE,
SO NOW I’M GONNA SPEND
A NIGHT GETTING TO KNOW A JOINT –
AND MAYBE A FRIEND

SUCH A STRANGE AND NEW SENSATION
ACTUALLY HAVING A CONVERSATION
FEELING ANXIOUS AND NERVOUS,
BUT HE’S INCREDIBLY CALM

HE TALKS ABOUT FOOTBALL AND GIRLS
HE LIVES IN SUCH A DIFFERENT WORLD
A LIFE HE SEEMS TO PROTECT
SO I NOD, AND I LISTEN AND LEARN
WHILE IT SUDDENLY STARTS TO TURN
THINGS YOU’D NEVER EXPECT
SEEING HE’S SOMEWHAT OF A WRECK
AND THAT’S SOMETHING WE CAN CONNECT ON

DAD NOW LISTENS TO LIL WAYNE
MOM IS STRESSED AND GOING INSANE
AND NORMALLY, I WOULD CARE
PETER’S STILL AUDITIONING
OUT THERE LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT THEY SAY

BUT ME, REFRESHINGLY, I’M DOING GREAT
I’M APPRECIATING ALL THE TIME I SPEND
‘CAUSE I NEVER KNEW
I NEVER KNEW, BACK THEN THAT

ME AND MR. POPULARITY
WOULD BE SPENDING MORE TIME
YOU SEE, ‘CAUSE HE NEEDED A TUTOR FOR
COMPUTER SCIENCE

BUT THAT WAS WAY BACK THEN
NOW WE LAUGH AND TALK AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND REALLY, I THINK HIM AND ME
ARE POSSIBLY
BECOMING FRIENDS
