So Stupid Over You

Verse 1:
I send you memes and awkward jokes
Write you love songs in Morse code
But every text, every email
I send you is a quiz I fail

Verse 2:
I'm not smooth, no, I'm not slick
I'm just a human pogo stick
Jumping to all these screwy schemes
To work my way into your dreams

Chorus 1:
Like a penguin with no parachute
I'm falling fast, trying to look cute
With flippers flailing in the blue
Tell me why am I . . . so stupid over you

Verse 3:
You're the glitch in my brain
The pop-up ad I can't explain
The droning soundtrack in my head
As I replay all the things you said

Verse 4:
Caught in your game show, my buzzer on the blink
Wildly waving as I watch my chances sink
You dump on me like I'm your litter box
Avoid me like a pair of smelly socks

Chorus 2:
Like a pigeon without a clue
Flying into windows, smackeroo
I know you're bad news but I'm stuck like glue
Tell me why am I . . . so stupid over you


Bridge:
I'll be your puppet on a string dancing to your tune
'Cause every time you smile I melt like an ice cream cone in June

Verse 5:
Stuck in this sitcom with no script
I'm the laugh track to this comic strip
Every scene a rerun, me the punchline
As the unwanted Valentine

Chorus 3:
I'm that moth drawn to your flame
Spiraling, trapped, in this hopeless game
My mind says "Nah" but my heart says "Do!"
Tell me why am I . . . So stupid!

Chorus 4:
I am locked in an infinite loop
Can't escape this dumb pursuit
Of you, reset, but I can't reboot
Tell me why am I . . . so stupid over you
