I'm wasting time thinking about a girl
And stealing her away from her world
She and I would run away
I think of all the things that I'd say
We'd talk about important things
And I'd picture it in my dreams
She'd teach me about modern art and
I'd show her it's okay to fart and

Maybe I'd impress her
By being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough
She'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart
By writing this song about her

Sometimes I sit at home and
Wonder if she's sitting at home
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
Sitting at home thinking about her
Or am I just wasting my time?

Remembering how she laughed at Kinko's
When I made fun of that guy
Remembering the look she gave me
When I told her that I used to fly

I really want to ask her out
But my ego could never take it
And even if I got the balls
You know that the Cougar
Would never make it
And in my town
You can't drive naked

And maybe I'd impress her
By being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough
She'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart
By writing this song about her

Sometimes I sit at home and
Wonder if she's sitting at home
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
Sitting at home thinking about her
Or am I just wasting my time?
Am I just wasting my time?
Am I just wasting my time?
Am I just wasting my time?
Wasting my time thinking 'bout a girl

Should we double 'em high or low?
