Paroles de Kristine From The 7th Grade

Are you the same Kristine
I knew from seventh grade?
Yeah it’s definitely you
Just with a new last name

Someone who laughed a lot
Is what I remember the most
But the face in your profile
Suggests maybe not so much anymore
Cause I got the emails
These last two years every day
And I just don’t reply because
I don’t really know what to say

Kristine from the seventh gradе

The anger, the all caps
And all thе pseudoscience
The misspellings, the must be on purpose
We went to a good school, Kristine

So what would you imagine I might
Take from this deluge of memes
The cryptic, dark Bible quotes
Guns and dead fetuses
Kristine, seriously, are you okay?
Kristine from the seventh grade

There’s a break in the rain
A perfect time for a walk
The smell of wet leaves
And warm smiles and hellos
These things exist in the real world, you know

Oh what a shame, Kristine
This disease that makes strangers of friends
But if these days it’s really “us’s” and “them’s”
I want to you to take me off of both of those lists

Cause this world can be
So wonderful too
Do you ever see it that way?
