  • I feel so high school every time I look at you
    I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you

    And in a blink of a crinkling eye
    I'm sinking, our fingers entwined
    Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
    Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
    I'll drink what you think, and I'm high
    From smoking your jokes all damn night
    The brink of a wrinkle in time
    Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

    I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
    Your friends are around, so be quiet
    I'm trying to stifle my sighs
    'Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you
    But look at you
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

    Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? (Kill me)
    It's just a game, but really (really)
    I'm bettin' on all three for us two (all three)
    Get my car door, isn't that sweet? (That sweet)
    Then pull me to the backseat (backseat)
    No one's ever had me (had me) not like you

    Truth, dare, spin bottles
    You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
    Brand new, full-throttle
    Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto
    It's true, swear, scouts honor
    You knew what you wanted and boy, you got her
    Brand-new, full-throttle
    You already know, babe

    I feel like laughing in the middle of practice
    Do that impression you did of your dad again
    I'm hearing voices like a madman

    And in a blink of a crinkling eye
    I'm sinking, our fingers entwined
    Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
    Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
    I'll drink what you think, and I'm high
    From smoking your jokes all damn night
    The brink of a wrinkle in time
    Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

    I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
    Your friends are around, so be quiet
    I'm trying to stifle my sighs
    'Cause I feel so high school (I feel so high school)
    Every time I look at you
    But look at you

    Truth, dare, spin bottles (yeah)
    You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
    Brand new, full-throttle (yeah)
    Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto
    It's true, swear, scouts honor (yeah)
    You knew what you wanted and boy, you got her
    Brand new, full-throttle (yeah)
    You already know, babe
