Reminds me a lot of those classic alternative 90's radio staple songs. Songwriting-wise it seems on par with that sort of stuff too. Nice stuff, keep it up!

I had a knack of wanting things I've never owned
Like the hero from my favorite TV show
But I don't do it anymore
Cause I feel inside...

VERSE 2

Well, It never got as time ad as sticks and stones
Just a pack who say the things that hurt the most
Now words can't hurt me or break my bones
Cause I feel inside...

Original version from 2016: https://soundcloud.com/parttimetunafish/lavender-and-watermelon

VERSE 1:

At first it was so shocking,

But then it was so normal, I'm telling you

You say that I'm a good boy

I say you smell like lavender and watermelon

Oooooh~

VERSE 2:

I hear the kids are talking,

They say I'm not too formal, ain't that the truth

You say that I'm a good boy

I say you smell like lavender and watermelon

Oooooh~

BRIDGE:

When the night comes, midnight hums,''' 

that's when you down sit next to me

When there's just crumbs, and I feel numb

You say the things I've always needed

Say I'm good and I'll believe it

VERSE 3:

I feel my tail wagging,

I rest my head in your lap now, denim blue

You say that I am a good boy

I say you smell like lavender and watermelon

Marshmellows, nutmeg and sledding

Warm pillows and brand new bedding

Birthday cake and fresh baked bread and

Lavender and watermelon

Lavender and watermelon

Ooooh...

Watermelon 

Ooooh...

Lavender and watermelon

Ooooh...

MESSY

Noelle

"I remember studying hours and hours on end on the ACT and wanting to get that perfect score.   But I felt so ashamed because I was extremely unhappy.  And I remember telling my mom and dad, seriously, like, this is how I felt."

VERSE 1

She's gone beyond
a simple explanation

I wrote this song to
explain

She's got a
big brain
Noodle arms and a
French braid
Even got her a 
French name
Probably thinks in a 
French way...

"How'd you get so...?"


VERSE 2

It's gone beyond
a simple explanation

Not "insincere"
She just... weird?

Always
corrects me
Hides the fact she's a big
big geek
Always hides her true
feelings
Whispers when no one's
hearing

"How'd you get so *dumb*?"

CHORUS

... (Yea...)
'*How'd you get so... dumb*?'
... (Oh...)


"How'd you get so..."
Doo~ doo~ doo~doo~ doo~doo~(yea)
Doo~ doo~ doo~doo~ doo~ 

"How'd you get so dumb?!"
"How'd you get so dumb?!"
"How'd you get so dumb?!"


'How'd you get so...!'
Doo~ doo~ doo~doo~ doo~doo~(yea)
Doo~ doo~ doo~doo~ doo~doo~


POST-CHORUS

Noelle, Noelle...
You're more than your problems!
You're more than those complications...


STEADY BUILD (1)

Ain't it
amazing?

Moving up to the
big leagues!

Working hard but for 
*whose* dreams?

Up at night thinking...
'What's life like beyond these walls?'

STEADY BUILD (2)

She's got a 
headache

Something inside her
feels fake

R'flection can't show her 
the pain

Something dark inside 
her brain and it won't come out


STEADY BUILD (3)

You know what dad said
"You're wasting time trying to *make *friends
"It makes no sense!
"That you can try all day
"To just get played, baby
"When you can't even make the grade!"


STEADY BUILD (4)

Even mom can be 
*so* mean
Even mom says the
*same* *damn* *thing*

still hears 'em scream

Spoiled child!
Dumb kid!
No time for stress!

Waste of time!
Girl, you're such a mess!

CHORUS
"How'd you get so dumb!!!" (No!)
"How'd you get so dumb!!!" (No!)
"How'd you get so dumb!!!" (No!)
"How'd you get so dumb!!!" (No!)


How'd you get so...!
Doo~ doo~ doo~doo~ doo~doo~(yea)
Doo~ doo~ doo~doo~ doo~doo~

POST-CHORUS

Noelle~!
You're more than your problems!
More than your complications!

My feelings go past
a simple explanation

I still think that you're
pretty keen!

REPRISE

Let's make a 
tag team!
I'll check your grapes
before eating!
Prove donuts aren't
'disgusting'!
Teach you all about 
sports teams!
(yea yea)

We'll go 
dancing!
Movie nights over 
webstreams!
You can tell me 
anything! 
anything!
*anything!*

You can tell me *anything,* darling...
Noelle!
Oh, Noelle!

OUTRO

You're more than your problems...
(...how'd you get so...?)

"I didn't know what to do... these thoughts in my head kept pouring out... I'm not the way I look, I'm not my education.  I'm good enough.   The way I am."

...more than your complications...
(...how'd you get so...?)
