Back 2 10th Grade
Nostalgic Reflections: Back 2 10th Grade by Wavy McGrady
Lyrics
I'm too comfortable perhaps
I feel too at ease, possibly overly comfortable
Every time I try to make a happy song
Whenever I attempt to create a cheerful song
Well it turns out sad
It unexpectedly becomes melancholic
Go figure that
Surprisingly, that's the outcome
I'm a little different since you saw me last
I have changed a bit since our last encounter
You really had me going
You truly deceived me
Waiting on that
Anticipating a response or callback
Call back
Reflecting on the situation
And now I scan across the bar
Observing the surroundings, possibly in a social setting
I see you tryna dodge my glance but
Noticing you avoiding eye contact, though not very convincingly
You're not trying all that hard
You're not putting much effort into avoiding me
It's something else
There's something more to this situation
How you still out do yourself
Impressed by how you consistently outshine yourself
Honey I'm ok
Assurance that I'm fine
I can't figure it out
Unable to comprehend the situation
And it's truly wild
It's remarkably surprising
How you still can be that child
You still exhibit a childlike quality
From back in the day
Reflecting on past times
We're playing at this bar
We're performing at a bar
But you bring me back to tenth grade
You evoke memories of our tenth-grade days
Step out front and light a red
Stepping outside and lighting a cigarette
Would've thought you want to dip out somewhere else
Expected you to leave for somewhere else, but you stayed
But you stayed instead...hm
This had a strong impact on me
Straight to my head
Referencing the impact on thoughts or emotions
Cuz I remember every little thing you said
Recalling every word you said
It's funny how it always seems these thing do
Noting the irony in how things always turn out
Work out
Things tend to resolve themselves
And as I'm finishing my smoke
Concluding a smoke break
I cross you headed out the bar
Encountering you leaving the bar
After I finished up my show
After concluding my performance
It's something else
There's something more to this situation
How you still out do yourself
Impressed by how you consistently outshine yourself
Honey I'm ok
Assurance that I'm fine
I can't figure it out
Unable to comprehend the situation
And it's truly wild
It's remarkably surprising
How you still can be that child
You still exhibit a childlike quality
From back in the day
Reflecting on past times
We're playing at this bar
We're performing at a bar
But you bring me back to tenth grade
You evoke memories of our tenth-grade days
