Mr Confidence (little schoolboy)

Mr confidence little schoolboy

Who are you discovering
Your true self or a parade of lies

Sit by the beating heart of my being
Pulse quickens blood restricts

Walking with my princess
But I’m a hollow shell

Fake a laugh
When all I want to say is
Run away with me
On a beach for two
With a fuzzy drink and umbrella

Had my chance
Struck out looking

Didn’t swing the bat
Take my best chance to show her

Kicking up dust
On the way back to the dugout

Spit on my hands
Grab my bat

Back in the box
Of my caramel dream

I’m a schoolboy when I see her
Heart beats fast

Perspiration on my brow
Could be my true love
I have to show her
