The last time i ran home from school dogs chased me home
it was better though this time
it was raining so the old man didn't get the chance to squirt me with the
garden hose

it was better though this time
and I'm not running anymore
I'm better at pac-man than her
and this game over screen's not mine

the next time i walk home I'm going to bring my math book
because i got an 'F'
i think that if there's time I'll go walk down to the arcade to watch the
people play the wrong games

my high score it's been there since i was in the 6th grade
of course that was only just last year
i was playing when i saw her standing by my side she was wearing a space
invaders shirt
