I remember when I got high Just so I could fit in
We went to the pool that afternoon even though I couldn't swim
I just stood in the shallows watching you and soaking in the sun
Buzzed and telling myself it feels damn good to be part of the fun
Weird and lonely I'm forever wondering if I am the only
Weird and depressed one solitary freak flag flying
Still despite it all I never felt quite like lying... to you
That summer i watched 4 soccer girls
So fun and carefree nothing like me
I rode in a truck with an older guy who went to sleep in jail every night
It's called work release I call it no way to help with drunken despair
I guess when you're weird and lonely doesn't matter what feels fair
Weird and lonely I'm forever wondering if I am the only
Weird and depressed one, solitary freak flag flying
Still despite it all I never felt quite like trying... do you?
When life plays out like an after school special
It's darker than what they show
I wanted to do the right thing, or just say no, or let my anger go
It's been so many years since then
I've known deeper love and better friends
This shame should've burnt out long ago
It still wakes me up in the night though
Weird and lonely I'm forever wondering if I am the only
Weird and depressed one solitary freak flag flying
Still despite it all I never felt quite like dying... do you?
