lyrics

i’m no queen of timing
i tell people i love them
right before they hang up
so i don’t have to hear the reply

and i’m the one
they often come to for advice
because they known i’ve got good ideals
but i've never had a love to call my own

and i’ve been known to play
all my cards too soon
and they’re so impressed by me
at least until they see
all alone in my room
writing songs at unreasonable hours of the night
is all i ever really do

ever since i was in kindergarten
and i loved a boy, whose name was sam
and he went and moved to a new town
i have always been unlucky, left behind
or simply just too afraid, without the courage to speak my mind

and i’ve been known to play
all my cards too soon
and they’re so impressed by me
at least until they see
all alone in my room
writing songs at unreasonable hours of the night
is all i ever really do
it's all i really do
