Martha – The Awkward Ones lyrics

[Verse 1]
It must have been October, the last time that we spoke
And though I think about you, I decided that it's safer where we left it Safer for us both
That stuff was a million years ago

[Pre-Chorus]
When you got accepted, I went loopy
Hoping you'd be on my team
When you got accepted, I was totally ridiculous

[Chorus]
We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered
And I still feel the same
Still dreading the laughter, like, what does it matter?
It's not what I'm after, anyway

[Verse 2]
I won't take a compliment, but I will ruminate for hours on a single mean remark
Collecting them like ornaments, the nasty things that people say, that I save up to think about when it gets dark

[Pre-Chorus]
When you got accepted, I went loopy
Hoping you'd be on my team
When you got accepted, I was totally ridiculous

[Chorus]
We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered
And I still feel the same
Still dreading the laughter, like, what does it matter?
It's not what I'm after, anyway


[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
When you got accepted, I went loopy
Hoping you'd be on my team
When you got accepted, I was right

[Outro]
I can't help feeling like I did that October day
Ten years later, I'm so glad that it's over
But I can't help feeling like I did that October...
Ten years later, I'm so glad that it's over
But I can't help feeling like I did that October day
I can't help feeling like I did that October day
