We met in CLH, best friends of a friend
I wanted to know all I could right there and then
We joked around a bit before I knew your names
You two looked so alike, your faces were the same
We moved from place to place, laughed from shot to shot
I had no chance with her, two chances left I thought
I’m glad we stayed in touch, I’ve had a lot of fun
But I must focus up, I can only have one
I’ll tell it like it is, I’ve got no words to waste
I just get so choked up whenever I see her face
My eyes will not stay shut when I hear her speak
I’m flustered and fucked up and contradictory
The girls are in my world
There’s Jennifer and her and her and her
One’s a bit more bold, one is more reserved
I know I like the prior, and she’s the one I deserve
It’s good to have the option, when all else seems to fail
I’ve had years of broken hearts still bleeding on my trail
I live over here, she lives over there
An hour apart but much too close to turn this to despair
I may be overthinking, I know I probably am
So sue me for attraction, loneliness I just can’t stand
I’ll tell it like it is, I’ve got no words to waste
I just get so choked up whenever I see her face
My eyes will not stay shut when I hear her speak
I’m flustered and fucked up and contradictory
The girls are in my world
There’s Jennifer and her and her and her
I’m giving time to here I don’t know if she wants
Feel bad for trying to speak to her around the clock
I won’t know what will happen when I travel all that far
So J please let me know if I can give my heart to R
I’ll tell it like it is, I’ve got no words to waste
I just get so choked up whenever I see her face
My eyes will not stay shut when I hear her speak
I’m flustered and fucked up and contradictory
The girls are in my world
There’s Jennifer and her and her and her
