Friday night
the lights are high
but i quit that sport last spring
i guess i found the talk is cheap
and the grass ainu0027t always green
oh iu0027ll never be top of the class
or the homecoming queen
even though i did it all right
i still canu0027t sleep

iu0027ll never be the quarterback
this or that
kissing emily
iu0027ll never be one night stan
shake your hand
climb the ladder to be
i guess i have always been
the same damn kid
who knows how to play the game
but on nights i lay alone
i wonder if thereu0027s more

saturday
spring break
and the boys are getting rowdy
i guess thatu0027s the way these things go
but i donu0027t feel like no party

ohIu0027ll ever star on the movie screen
be the life of the party
the top of the heap
while everyone around me seems to think iu0027m living my dream

iu0027ll never be the quarterback
this or that
kissing emily
iu0027ll never be one night stan
shake your hand
climb the ladder to be
i guess i have always been
the same damn kid
who knows how to play the game
but on nights i lay alone
i wonder if thereu0027s more

thereu0027s gotta be more than awards and home runs hit
more than being everyoneu0027s favorite
more than dating the girl next door
oh lord i hope thereu0027s more
gotta be more than the college i didnu0027t get in
more than the shadow of my parents
more than the days iu0027ve spent pretending that i coulda been more

than the quarterback
this or that
kissing emily
iu0027ll never be one night stan
shake your hand
climb the ladder to be
i guess i have always been
the same damn kid
who knows how to play that game
but on nights i lay alone
oh now every night i lay on my own
and wonder if i coulda been more
