He Kinda Stood There And Stared At Me

Warmplay performs at U-Night. Evan Board on Guitar, Brandon Bogenschutz on Vocals, Sophie Nelson, Marty Witteborg, and Anya Kopischke back-up dancing.

I was a little boy
Living on the street where you lived
And you came up to me and you said "boy, you got a really really cool jacket"
And I didn't know what to say
But nothing at all
So I said nothing at all except:

CH:
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

I saw you in the grocery store about 12 years later
You said "hey" to me and you started talking about way back when when you complimented me on my jacket
And you asked me if I still had that jacket
And I stood there frozen
You asked if I was ok
But I wasn't ok
And instead of responding like a normal person would
I said:

CH

I only think about those days
When I feel lonely
Those days when you used to walk up to me and compliment me on my clothes
You probably got kids now
You're probably married to that guy
That guy that was playing with your kids in the grocery store
I really hate to assume but I kinda figured
That he was your husband or something 'cause I really don't think you'd be letting some strange man play with your kids in the grocery store like that
Back to the point
If there really is one
I don't have much going on so I tend to reminisce about very specific compliments that people gave me between age 6 and age 20
So I guess you're special
When I think of you
You and your really nice things that you say to me
But it's so hard now
Now that I'm all alone
It's hard to sing those upbeat choruses 'bout you these day
Upbeat choruses like:

CH

C
Better
