Statistics

from High School by Maggie Morgan

lyrics

In the abstract, you confound me
You bewilder, but not astound me
But I find when you’re around me
That is not the case

My knees wobble, my heart is pounding
In my ears like thunder resounding
And all of my surroundings
Seem to fade away, when I look into your gaze

And so I wonder what’s confounding
All my data and expounding
All the errors in my palpitations
Cause I can’t possibly be wanting this
Statistically, it makes no sense,
There’s no way I could want you for you

But today when I saw you in the lunchroom
And you gave me back the bag I left in your room
My heart started beating a little bit faster
And my stomach did rhythmic gymnastics
And I think I saw you in a new light,
Bathed in warmth and sunshine and I don’t know why
When you hug me clumsily, and knock the glasses from my eyes
I still lean in and sigh

Cause your smile is too goofy
And I hate your fucking groupies
And your face is too cartoony
To suit my mal-adjusted taste

Normally, I’m not too choosy
Cause I just want someone to use me
But I find you so confusing,
I wouldn’t choose you any day

And so I wonder what’s confounding
All my data and expounding
All the errors in my palpitations
Cause I can’t possibly be wanting this
Statistically, it makes no sense, there’s no way I could want you for you

But today when I saw you in the lunchroom
And you gave me back the bag I left in your room
My heart started beating a little bit faster
And my stomach did rhythmic gymnastics
And I think I might be feeling something
That makes my heart go pumping but I’m
Not sure if it’s love or just anticipation
Or habitual sexual association
But I think I saw you in a new light
Bathed in warmth and sunshine and I don’t know why when
You hug me clumsily and knock the glasses from my eyes
I still lean in and sigh
