Boy Band Hero by Emily Kinney
Maybe it was all just a daydream
Mirage of water in a dessert land.
Starin’ out the window in the classroom.
Imaginin’ us hand and hand.
Oh-oh-oh
Maybe I just wanted love so badly
I drew up to look like you
Colored in the corners with some lipstick
Whats a girl at rock show supposed do?
Hollywood heat fillin’ my sky
With that boy band hero from junior high.
Grass stained jeans, my head in the clouds,
beside the red flag fires and drink-filled doubts.
Oh-oh-oh I’m sendin’ up a prayer.
Oh-oh-oh a little goodbye cry
For that boy band hero from junior high
Maybe it was all just a fantasy:
The pink skies drivin’ to his house
The cocaine kisses at midnight,
Little lies I told myself.
Oh-oh-yeah
Maybe it was all just a daydream
And now I’m finally wide awake.
Teacher hit a ruler to my textbook,
We’ve both had as much as we can take.
Hollywood heat fillin’ my sky
With that boy band hero from junior high.
Grass stained jeans, my head in the clouds,
Beside the red flag fires and drink-filled doubts.
Oh-oh-oh I’m sendin’ up a prayer.
Oh-oh-oh a little goodbye cry
For that boy band hero from junior high
