Yearning for Acceptance: Midwest Confessions
Lyrics
I want to be cool
I desire to be perceived as cool.
I want everyone to look at me the way they look at you
I wish to be admired in the same way people admire you.
Found myself recently mimicking the things that you do
I've found myself imitating your actions recently. Is that something you find attractive?
Does that appeal to you?
Do you find the imitation appealing?
I'm on your avenue
I am in your vicinity.
You said to pick you up after school but make sure no one sees me do it
You instructed me to pick you up discreetly after school.
Well we're just the best baby
We consider ourselves the best, darling.
Oh so midwest baby
We exude a Midwestern vibe, dear.
Dead of the night in the parking lot sex
Engaging in intimate activities in the parking lot during the late hours of the night.
Maybe we could change it up?
Perhaps we could alter our routine?
I could tell my friends?
Can I share our secret with my friends?
I could stop lying to my mom and pretending like the road goes on
I want to stop deceiving my mother and pretending that our relationship has a future.
When it clearly says dead ending
Realizing that our connection has a dead end despite my previous delusions.
Well I've been waiting for the answer so long I forgot the question
I've been waiting for an answer for so long that I forgot the original question.
Poured my heart out to the walls and found that they matched your affection
I expressed my feelings to the walls and discovered they echo your affection.
Do you see?
Are you aware?
You're tearing at my body
Your actions are causing emotional distress.
Every time you want it
Every time you desire intimacy.
I think that I'm wanted
I believe I am desired.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Vocalization)
We went to the statewide music competition
We participated in a statewide music competition.
Placed in the same hotel room
We were assigned the same hotel room.
We made the decision to stay in separate beds
We decided to sleep in separate beds.
But behind the concert stands
Behind the concert venue, you hinted that I could hold your hand.
You told me if I wanted to that
You suggested I could hold your hand if I wanted to.
I could hold your hand
But not in front of your cool friends, only those in the band.
But not in front of your cool friends
(Repetition of lines 14-19)
Just the ones in band
(Repetition of lines 20-31)
Well I've been waiting for the answer so long I forgot the question
(Repetition of lines 32-33)
Poured my heart out to the walls and found that they matched your affection
(Repetition of lines 34-47)
Do you see?
(Repetition of lines 1-20)
You're tearing at my body
(Repetition of lines 21-33)
Every time you want it
(Repetition of lines 34-47)
I think that I'm wanted
(Repetition of lines 1-20)
So I will share your body
(Repetition of lines 21-33)
With anyone who wants it
(Repetition of lines 34-47)
I know it's what you want
(Repetition of lines 1-20)
But I really wish it wasn't
(Repetition of lines 21-33)
I could be your kingpin
(Repetition of lines 34-47)
I could be your captain
(Repetition of lines 1-20)
I could have your children
(Repetition of lines 21-33)
I could be important
(Repetition of lines 34-47)
Let me be in your orbit
(Repetition of lines 1-20)
Let me be your mountain
(Repetition of lines 21-33)
I will be the dragon
(Repetition of lines 34-47)
Burning it to ashes
(Vocalization)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
