Lyrics
I'll forget your name
I will intentionally forget your name.
By the time I'm brave
By the time I gather the courage.
You could never find
You will never be able to express.
The words to say that
The words to convey that.
I wish I would have known you
I regret not having known you.
In football season
During football season.
Kicking back in time
Relaxing and reminiscing about the past.
California dreaming
Daydreaming about California.
And I still sing the National Anthem
Despite everything, I still sing the National Anthem.
Still sing the National Anthem
Continuing to sing the National Anthem.
Still sing the National Anthem
Repeating the act of singing the National Anthem.
Wish I would have told you that you're so handsome
I regret not expressing that you're handsome.
Come clean to admit you've always had eyes
Come clean, admit that you've always been interested.
Surprised
Feeling surprised.
Long day so I take my sweet time to reply
After a long day, I take my time to respond.
Do you mind
Do you mind?
Cuz you almost took it back as soon as you said it
Because you almost retracted your statement.
Hedging all your bets, apologize for gambling
Hedging your bets, apologizing for taking risks.
Now you're gonna tell me
Now you're going to tell me.
I'm the one who's always been shy
I am the one who has always been shy.
That's what you liked
That's what you liked about me.
But I don't have the patience this time
This time, I don't have the patience.
Cuz
Because
I'll forget your name
I will intentionally forget your name.
By the time I'm brave
By the time I gather the courage.
You could never find
You will never be able to express.
The words to say that
The words to convey that.
I wish I would have known you
I regret not having known you.
In football season
During football season.
Kicking back in time
Relaxing and reminiscing about the past.
California dreaming
Daydreaming about California.
Usually I would chalk it up to banter
Usually, I would dismiss it as banter.
But I'd be lying if I said it didn't matter
But I would be lying if I said it didn't matter.
And I wasn't built for homecoming queen
I wasn't made for being the homecoming queen.
Perfectly content to pretend nobody's listening
Content to pretend nobody's listening.
And maybe it was all for me
Maybe it was all for me.
But where were you in 2013
But where were you in 2013?
I've been writing songs
I've been writing songs.
And it's such a shame
And it's such a shame.
That you never got one
That you never received one.
Except by mistake
Except by mistake.
But you wish you would have thanked me
You wish you had thanked me.
So it makes us even
So it evens the score.
Kicking back in time
Relaxing and reminiscing about the past.
Adolescent feelings
Experiencing adolescent feelings.
Well, I still sing the National Anthem
Nevertheless, I still sing the National Anthem.
Still sing the National Anthem
Continuing to sing the National Anthem.
Still sing the National Anthem
Repeating the act of singing the National Anthem.
Wish I would have told you that you're so handsome
I regret not expressing that you're handsome.
