Dodgeball

from The Rogue Sessions by Sarah Donner

lyrics

When love was a serious word
I wore cuffs on my acid wash jeans
And we sat in the back of the bus
Stephanie, James, and Kris, you and me
And I knew you
And I would route

For the sports teams on the back of your shirt
Oh yeah, love was a serious word
All I wore were those no name brand Keds
Epitome of cool in retrospect
And I knew you
What I would do to

Be on your team in dodgeball
I was not the fastest, not the strongest
Running after dreams that were equipped with Nike sneakers
But I could never catch you, I could never catch you
‘Cause I was fat

When love was a serious word
I would alter my daily routine
Coincidentally to meet you in the hall before school
And give you the support that you’d need
To get through your attitude of

Worries mixed with pity, doubts and sorrow for tomorrow
Coupled with my silence and wishful thinking that I could bring
Everything you needed in a miracle wrapped in myself
But I could never catch you, I could never catch you

1997, 1998 were the days
I would hold myself up to the girls in charge, girls I knew
1997, 1998 were the days
I would hold myself up to the girls in charge, girls I knew

I wore Keds with my penny loafers
Oh yeah, love was a serious word

Now you’re working in an office with fluorescent lighting
All your writing never took you further than your pregnant girlfriend
That was the end. Now no one brings you presents like cards and coffee
Wouldn’t that be pleasant and suburban like central heating
Did you forget me? ‘Cuz I could not forget you. I could not forget you
...and now, you’re fat.
