Flagpole Lyrics

You are my star you are my goal

You are my flagpole in the level

Assuming that a person is a goal to be obtained

Rather than a series of traits to be embraced

Are you like a princess in a castle?

Is that even helpful as a question?

I feel that I've learned nothing in all of my life

That could explain the feeling that I have for you

How many points do I have to score to talk to you?

How many push ups should I do to talk to you?

Or do those things mean nothing at all

And I've been looking at this being all wrong?

You are my star you are my goal

You are my flagpole in the level

Assuming that a person is a goal to be obtained

Rather than a series of traits to be embraced

Why am I even drawn to you?

You're just another person with the same silly flaws

Is this really a choice that I'm making

Or is it just my dumb brain's programming?

Why do I think of you as a goal?

What a strange way to refer to a person

If we were together it would mean a lot of effort

Why did I not think of that at all?

You are my star you are my goal

You are my flagpole in the level

But I know that a person is not a goal to be obtained

Rather it's a series of traits to be embraced

Is it possible to describe this feeling you call love?

How to explain that using all these silly words?

It seems the more complex you get

The less you understand

And yet without these analogies

You're left too much in the dark

Maybe I can talk about it without a novel

But rather through my senses

That felt and bothered

At first it's not too much

But then you may giggle or start to laugh

You don't see it coming

No, it couldn't be of course

And yet you feel this itch

Creeping up and up through your back

And say "Oh my God, why do I want to care so much?"

You are my star you are my goal

You are my flagpole in the level

No you are so much more

So much more than just a goal

Something that's harder to fully comprehend

You are my love you are my friend

You are a great pal in the end

A universe I can explore for years and years and then

I will know what this little song really meant
