Love is a long shot
Love is a bird in hand
When this stops we'll be laughing
Sing our songs though they're barely heard

You be the prom queen
And I'll be the malcontent
In this scene just pretend
Nobody cares about social standing

Hughes, Hughes, you knew me
You promise me maybe
That nobody talks to me
I'm all alone

People are misplaced
People are full of shit
In this place, I'm over it
And I've got a right mind to call it in

'Cause even the sun stays
Even the words turn good
In the heat wave, it's understood
Nobody gives a damn for their neighbor

Hughes, Hughes, you know me
You will promise maybe later
Nobody talks to me
I'm all alone

You've got a bad year
You've got a place to stay
And it's clear, you're on your way
I won't tell your friends a thing
