[Verse 1]
So, don't be scared
May I remind you that I loved you from the very start
When I saw you in the schoolyard
It was recess, I think the second grade
At Coyle School in Sacramento, California
We lived on Marlin Circle
Oh it was the suburbs, yeah
My whole family
(I had) I had a stepdad
I had a stepdad

[Chorus]
I waited for you, and the other two
That's where you played with me
I waited for you, and the other two
That's where you played with me...

[Verse 2]
Oh, I needed help with my math classes
I couldn't add or subtract or do multiplication
I was better in English
Because I liked to write poetry in the back of the class
I didn't wear glasses
But I sat with the kids who were nerds, I guess
They were considered that, but
They were really goths who listened to Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails
[Chorus]
I waited for you, and the other two
That's where you played with me
I waited for you, and the other two
That's where I met you

[Outro]
I ran away from my parents' house
Are you afraid of the dark?
