Story behind the song

I just wanted to write a song about being a huge dork... but also make it relatable to everyone... this is then i guess, an "everyone's a dork.. don't deny it song." I hope you like it =)

Lyrics

midnight paints the wall along with tinted lamplight
i'm
amidst the lines of bass and conversation
her line of sight invites as she passes by
with "take-me-to-the-bedroom" eyes
she comes close
clothes just like a second skin
slowly stepping in she winks 
and ticks her hips with pursing lips and
he's lucky
to pull her to his side
leaving me to write the scene 
from a safer distance set for me

i've noticed a trend that says that
squares don't fit in circles of friends
a case of failed

...social geometry
...social geometry

see i know the shame of smiles
and waving hi..
to someone who meant to greet the one behind you
and how...slow...
motion can be in a scene
where every move you make fills something intimate
with huge mistakes
and i'd be great if people liked
the "loud-when-nervous" kind of type
but no one always sees that always justified
consider me one awkward night personified
a record scratched that plays this fool
in stereo and endless loops

and if the first foot forward always should be best
it tends to block my next steps
making me hate me in social contexts
cause i can't help but trip on words that slip from
nervous lips
oh save me...
make me right 
at very least just keep me quiet

but if not tonight
i... will...

if not tonight 
then one day i'll remake this bed i sleep upon
if not tonight
i'll break the wall this flowers rooted heavy on
if not tonight
then one day i'll be someone fun to figure out
if not tonight 
i'll make me something
someone to write home about

and even if it kills me one day i will learn this
lesson
you're supposed to kill with kindess
not supposed to kill with first impressions
so that your mention
won't win the prize of rolling eyes
and every whisper brings to mind a hint of smile
or word that's kind

but i refuse to change my shape
just to fit in
so until
this square changes
some of circle's mass appeal...

...i'll sit and wait...
...and be a case of failed...

...social geometry
...social geometry
