| She’s dropping out of school 'cause she don’t need the grades
 | 
| The colours in her hair don’t seem to fade
 | 
| I get dressed up when I go out
 | 
| But she gets dressed down
 | 
| She’s 17, I told her I’m 20
 | 
| I couldn’t take her out 'cause mom’s got no money
 | 
| It’s stuff like this that makes me wish
 | 
| That I could change somehow
 | 
| Sitting here at home
 | 
| It’s obvious she’s so out of reach
 | 
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
 | 
| She makes me feel, makes me feel
 | 
| Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying too hard
 | 
| 'Cause I’m not being me
 | 
| And it’s getting me down that
 | 
| She makes me think, makes me think
 | 
| That I try, that I try, that I’m trying too hard again
 | 
| She’s got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered
 | 
| I play guitar but she’s into drummers
 | 
| She’s seen my face around
 | 
| But she doesn’t even know my name
 | 
| I pierced my lip so she thinks I’m cool
 | 
| I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school
 | 
| I followed her around the town
 | 
| But she thinks that I’m a weirdo now
 | 
| Sitting here at home
 | 
| It’s obvious she’s so out of reach
 | 
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
 | 
| She makes me feel, makes me feel
 | 
| Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying too hard
 | 
| 'Cause I’m not being me
 | 
| And it’s getting me down that
 | 
| She makes me think, makes me think
 | 
| That I try, that I try, that I’m trying too hard again
 | 
| But now, who knew
 | 
| That she’s in the crowd of my show?
 | 
| Nothing to lose
 | 
| She’s standing right in the front row
 | 
| The perfect view
 | 
| 'Cause she came along on her own
 | 
| And there’s something that you should know
 | 
| You’re so out of reach
 | 
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
 | 
| You make me feel, you make me feel
 | 
| Yeah, she makes me feel, she makes me feel
 | 
| It’s obvious she’s so out of reach
 | 
| And I’m finding it hard 'cause
 | 
| She makes me feel, makes me feel
 | 
| Like I try, like I try, like I’m trying too hard
 | 
| 'Cause I’m not being me
 | 
| And it’s getting me down that
 | 
| She makes me think, makes me think
 | 
| That I try, that I try, that I’m trying too hard again
 | 
| And again, and again, and again, and again
 | 
| 'Cause I’m trying too hard again
 | 
| And again, and again, and again, and again
 | 
| 'Cause I’m trying too hard again |
