all my life i fell for boys
who tossed me away time and time again
boys who smoked in the school bathroom
throwing up gang signs with their alcohol

all my life it's been the curly hair
the metal smiles
the eyes that melted my heart

and then i met something good
i met a boy who my friends called a friend
i met a boy who doodled in my math book
a boy who could see a song in some letters on a page

maybe it was chopsticks
or how his eyes never leave mine
or maybe i just got lucky
because i think i found something great

or maybe i'm getting ahead of myself
