12/7/2023 Lyrics

Today's the day, I've gone over what I'm going to say

I've got a note stuck in my phone, but I'll probably flub the words anyway

You shine like the sun, with its rays emanating like a child's drawing

Let's skip formalities, though I adore it when you do the talking

I've rehearsed this conversation a million, billion times before

And I'll crawl through the cornfields to get a chance to knock at your door

Or collapse on your floor

Mmm, I'll collapse on your floor

And I know that you'll say no but damn it, you were gonna ask her out soon

And I know that this will blow over just like a lead balloon

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that things had to turn out this way

And I'm praying, I'm praying you'll wait every single day

With my luck, I'll end up calling for another straight ally

Would you be a little transphobic for me, please reply

And I lie, and I lie, and I lie, and I lie, but maybe on December 7th I won't

If I could ask you one thing, it would please be don't freak out on me

I've rehearsed this conversation a million, billion times before

I'm just some kid from Florida, and I know that you've been wanting more

But from somebody else

You want more from somebody else

And I know that you'll say no, but damn it, you were gonna ask her out soon

And I know that this will blow over just like a lead balloon

And I care, and I care, and I care, and I care about how all of this will end

Now thankfully no longer will I have to play pretend

And you said no, and you said no, and god damn do I respect your decision

'Cause she's probably so pretty and also nice, and she lives so close to you

It's true, it's true, and I'm sorry things have to turn out this way

And I'm praying, still praying you away, praying you away every single day
