Lyrics

The lyrics for this song are incomplete or missing. Can you help us fill them in? If so, we encourage you to make a move!

There's a kid you notice playing on the swing
Cute barrettes and fingers loaded up with shiny bling
You could walk up to her, say "I like your style"
Instead you watch her from the safety of a country mile

Think of the fun that you could have
Laughter and games, you do the math
Go take a chance, what have you got to lose?

Every day you walk in a straight line
Eyes cast down, afraid to look up
But things won't change until you do something strange
At point blank range
Sticks and stones are breakin' your bones
And ??? are callin' me names
But things won't change until you do something strange
At point blank range

You got so much potential; you could rule the roost
But sitting there, you need somebody to give you a boost
Maybe it's genetic; your parents were the same
??? before them so there's no one ??? you can blame

Break with the past, do something nuts
Talk to the girl working at Starbucks
You never know where things are gonna lead

Every day you walk in a straight line
Eyes cast down, afraid to look up
But things won't change until you do something strange
At point blank range
Sticks and stones are breakin' your bones
And ??? are callin' me names
But things won't change until you do something strange
At point blank range
