What U Missed While U Were Popular

We weren’t cool
Back in high school
But we partied too
And it’s time you knew
What you missed while you were popular
What you missed while you were popular
Yeah, we weren’t cool
Back in high school
But we partied too
And it’s time you knew
What you missed while you were popular
What you missed while you were popular
Check the morning news team with their sassy mutton chops
They reported on a local embezzlement scandal till the principal made them stop
Hard core!
Yeah, we weren’t cool
Back in high school
But we partied too
And it’s time you knew
What you missed while you were popular
What you missed while you were popular
Not all kids are athletes, some join band instead
While you played all those gendered sports, they all got very co-ed
Sports are overrated, they leave you red in the face
While you were sliding into first, the band kids rounded third base
Bass!
We weren’t cool
Back in high school
But we partied too
And it’s time you knew
What you missed while you were popular
What you missed while you were popular
Right over here are the arty Goths, a real tight-knit pack
While you were wearing tank tops
We were wearing black
While you were wearing cargo shorts
We were wearing black
While you were wearing flip flops
We were wearing black flip flops
The biggest thing you missed while you were having a good time
Is experiencing shame, misery, and depression for the very first time
Now, you might find it hard that adulthood gets so real
While the nerdy kids from high school are like, «I got this, no big deal!»
Actually, my parents got divorced when I was 14, and it really destroyed me.
I just acted super-confident to cover the unbearable flood of emotions I
wasn’t prepared to handle. I’m sorry I made fun of your ska band
Thank you so much, Zack
No one’s saying you weren’t fly
But did poetry night make you cry?
We learned to cry while you were popular
Grew emotionally while you were popular
You were cool while we were not
But our massage circles were super-hot
We massaged while you were popular
And got massaged while you were popular
