Class Clown

I hope this doesn't freak you out
 But I thought I'd just say, "Hey"
 I know we've barely spoken out of school
 But it seems I've grown attached to the thought of you
 And to tell the truth, I use humor to mask my insecurities
 Oh I try to be funny, quite a bit
 
 And look at me now
 Stumbling over a joke you've probably heard before
 'Cause all I'm paying attention to is the way you look at him
 So I cross the room and clear my head
 Wishing it was me instead
 Who always keeps you interested
 I close my eyes and count to 10
 I need to stop overthinking it
 ♪
 I might not be everything you asked for
 I know that
 And you might take a look at me and say
 "Is this the kind of guy who chases after me these days?
 Guys who use humor to mask their insecurities?"
 Well, I try to be funny, quite a lot
 And look at me now
 Stumbling over myself at a party I wasn't invited to
 Drink in my hand, trying to find a spot to sleep
 And I see you, you with him
 I start to drift off, nothing left but me and my thoughts
 Does she even know that I exist?
 I close my eyes and count to 10
 I need to stop overthinking this
 ♪
 I would ask you to take me as I am
 But it won't do any good
 Because what you see isn't who I am
 I would show you if I could
 I change the way I speak
 And how I act and what I say
 'Cause I'm afraid that you won't like me any other way
 And I use humor to mask my insecurities
 So, I try to be funny all the time
 And look at me now
 Stumbling over the words of a song I wrote for you
 A song you'll probably never hear
 Because I'm too ashamed and too afraid
 What kind of person writes a song
 About a girl he's barely spoken to?
