[00:04.585]Dad got his ear pierced, he's forty nine,
[00:06.675]Unemployment isn't treating him fine
[00:08.735]He tries on my clothes
[00:10.284]As if it'll make him cooler
[00:13.381]Mom's still working on some lawyer case
[00:15.192]She's never here, I'm forgetting her face,
[00:17.265]And I'm afraid of what dad might take up next
[00:21.915]Peter booked his next big role, bussing tables
[00:27.076]He says it's a stretch for him
[00:30.452]But me, surprisingly I'm doing great
[00:36.965]Because today
[00:39.560]Me and Mr. Popularity will be
[00:45.217]Spending more time you see, cause he
[00:48.819]Needs a tutor for computer science
[00:52.255]Until the semesters end
[00:56.391]And for me, this is the closest thing to having a friend
[01:03.145]Two weeks later and things are neat
[01:05.250]Sometimes he waves at me on the street,
[01:07.355]But that's only when there's no one in sight
[01:11.796]I could take it personally,
[01:13.606]But we're not hanging, just tutoring,
[01:15.664]And it's fine, I understand my role
[01:20.113]But today, he came to me it was kind of new
[01:26.315]Asked if I wanted to smoke with him some night,
[01:31.295]And I said, "Um, well, I've never smoked before, but alright!"
[01:37.311]Me and Mr. Popularity will be
[01:42.261]Engaging in illegal activity
[01:46.186]Guess he's tired of computer science
[01:49.584]So now I'm gonna spend a night getting to know a joint,
[01:56.818]And maybe a friend
[02:02.792]Such a strange and new sensation,
[02:07.013]Actually having a conversation
[02:11.199]Feeling anxious and nervous,
[02:13.822]But he's incredibly calm
[02:19.294]He talks about football and girls,
[02:21.661]He lives in such a different world,
[02:24.264]A life he seems to protect
[02:27.792]So I nod and I listen and learn
[02:29.618]As it suddenly starts to turn
[02:31.455]To things you'd never expect
[02:35.087]Seeing he's somewhat of a wreck,
[02:39.017]And that's something we can connect on
[02:47.627]Dad now listens to Lil Wayne,
[02:49.451]Mom is stressed and going insane,
[02:52.488]And normally I would care
[02:55.903]Peter's out auditioning,
[02:57.725]Out there living the American dream
[03:00.874]At least that's what they say
[03:03.448]But me, refreshingly, I'm doing great
[03:09.452]I'm appreciating every time I spend,
[03:14.662]Cause I never knew,
[03:18.855]I never knew,
[03:22.749]Back then that Me and Mr. Popularity would be
[03:29.239]Spending more time you see,
[03:32.107]Cause he needed a tutor for computer science,
[03:36.260]But that was way back then,
[03:38.365]Now we talk and laugh, again and again,
[03:40.176]And really, I think him and me
[03:45.426]Are possibly
[03:49.370]Becoming friends
