When I go to sleep I pray I'm waking up to I got you babe Like the guy from Groundhog Day Just wanna live forever this way Flash back to seventeen Got my ass kicked by the football team Another Loser on the scene Every Guy With A Chick I Fancy I asked you out for losing truth or dare The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah Pinch me, is this real? I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville Now I'm off the social flat line Things are so good that I'm Taking down my star trek shrine And you're more than just my valentine You're my ticket outta loserville She gives me butterflies Says I'm not like all the other guys Doesn't care what car I drive She still enjoys the ride When I got to sleep I know That you'll be there tomorrow And it gives me vertigo It was just a week ago that I asked you out for losing truth or dare The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah Pinch me, is this real? I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville Now I'm off the social flat line Things are so good that I'm Taking down my star-trek shrine You blew me out on a Sunday night You were bored to tears pretending Knew what you wanted and I'm nothing like the Guy in your happy ending Well you were wrong to lead me on Now in the night I wake up screaming Where the hell did I go wrong? Where's Scotty when you need him? Pinch me, is this real? I'm on a one way ticket back to loserville Heading for the social flat line Things are so that bad I'm dusting off my star trek shrine This is where it ends and I can taste the glory How can I depend On a better story? Made it, blew it, couldn't save it Think about her all the time It's like I never had her valentine So I guess I better kiss goodbye to my ticket outta loserville
