Square Pegs (i Know Its Off)

I picked up some things at the thrift store today
Was an anklet, a box, and a picture frame
It cost me less than two bucks at the flea market booth
Spent the change on some candy satisfied my sweet tooth
The frame's to encase a picture of us
The smile on your face, really is a plus
The cake on your shirt, from when we'd shamelessly flirt
You pushing me around, but it didn't hurt
No, it didn't hurt
Bought the box to collect, all the things that I have
Placed my heart in the center, tried to heal up the scabs
But I've been unsuccessful and I continue to bleed
Maybe I'm holding on too tight, but I don't want to concede
And I'm showing you too much of what you don't want to see
'Cause I want to adore you, but you want to be free
So I look in the box, to see what I had
Even if it was just a moment baby, or a fleeting fad (was a fleeting fad)
The anklet was purchased as a gift for you
Bought out of habit, but I know it won't do
I don't think you'd take it, not the way things have changed
But I cannot return it, or make an exchange
So I'll store it away, maybe you'll want it someday
I'll give it to you then, things are better that way (better that way)
They say we fit like square pegs in round holes, but I don't know
I always kinda liked that show square pegs
I pry my eyes wide with surprise to touch your skin
And feel the rise of the hair on the back of your neck
Tie a string onto your finger, remember you're to be the bringer
Of the Lenny and the Squigtones last big hit single
And I swear I won't sing stupid songs
And I won't even bring my guitar along
We'll just color on paper thats meant to be written on
And I'll write on the pavement with chalk I've brought along
Hey, look what I've constructed from construction paper
A cape for you and all your capers
And tape that sticks to ticker tape parades
And roses made of bar room napkins
For if along the way it happens
The real life flowers that I gave to you have gone
And a lamented constitution just for you
And all your using to symbolize
How free you have become
It'll be so much fun
And I swear I won't raid the free hors d'oeuvre tray
And I won't let all my class get in the way
And I'll be the veritable prince that saves the day
But in the end I know you'll always change the game
