the wilted flowers that i gave,
not as nice as your bouqet
all the lyrics that i wrote,
not as smart as the words you spoke
starlight above my hometown
ain't as bright as the star i found
every drawing that i do
is never ever as cute as you

oh oh as serious as a heart attack
i'm looking in my almanac
i've gotta find out all the things
find out where she got her wings
shimmy shimmy quarter turn
feel like i will never learn
how can i check lost and found
when i'm too busy getting down?

gotta get it back to
a back up plan to find you
start acceleration
take it back to square one
gotta get it back to
a back up plan to find you
start acceleration
take it back to square one

i swear that im not kidding
we're just trying[/n] to fit in
with all the other answers
to questions never confirmed
states that keep us far apart
[b]track the beating of my heart
mark the places in my book
with photographs we never took
swear that i'm not kidding
night time is so pretty
all the stars above your eyes
i'm sneaking out and making ties
states that keep us far apart
track the beating with a chart
mark the rythyms that i shook
everytime i caught you look

gotta get it back to
a back up plan to find you
start acceleration
take it back to square one
gotta get it back to
a back up plan to find you
start acceleration
take it back to square one
gotta get it back to
a back up plan to find you
start acceleration
take it back to square one
gotta get it back to
a back up plan to find you
start acceleration
take it back to square one
