Art Rush: Hi Boy/Cheated/Sorry Man

Hi boy
Nervous giggle
Nervous giggle

Here I am
I have friends
to introduce you to
Hey there boy
Gonna wiggle my cute self
all over you
But I already got a boy of my own
So we mustn't
No we mustn't
No we mustn't touch

But we can hug
And you can hold my hand
We can be awesome friends
Stay up on MSN
I'll tell you all my secrets
My desires and my history
One by one we'll unpeel
Your banana of mystery

Hey there boy
You don't know what
you got yourself into
I will love you
for what you are
I wanna slap you up
with lovely colours
Till you're dead
What a shame
I got a guy
I already got a guy
But we can hug
And you can hold my hand

Cheated with his girl one time
Spent the night at her house
We were lying on each other
We were lying on the couch
So confused she whispered
She sounded sweetly hurt
Felt her tongue begin to tickle
Felt the lining of her skirt

Girl and I were obvious
He watched us dance and flirt
Whenever he walked past me
I was Fonzie on that shirt
that says "I fucked your girlfriend"

Lines and cracks and scars
Diving in and getting wetter
Maybe if he'd beat me up
I would've felt better

You have yours and I have mine
But somewhere
in this space and time
You and I will make a lot of sense someday

It's a shame we had to cheat
Love cannot be helped

***

Now roughly one year later
Girl and I still kept in touch
When all this had flown away
I still loved her just as much

But I felt bad about him
I ignored him when I saw him
walking past
I assumed he hated me
So I ignored him when I saw him
between class

Now roughly four months later
Boy and I were early
At Macquarie
For a movie marathon
Mutual friends
were yet to show up
So it was just the two of us
Under the fluorescent sun
It was just the two of us
On the seats outside the movies

Hey man sorry man
Sorry about that
That's cool that's alright
Don't worry about it

It's so refreshing to talk to you on this level for once
You know I really would've felt better if you'd beat me up
Yeah I really wanted to but she wouldn't let me
