lyrics

Striped shirts and allergies
There are no words
I'm inflecting a tone
One to improve my speech
Talk shop when you walk in the room
Striped shirts and allergies
She'll have nothing to do with me

I'll spend my summer turning over tracks again
I'll spend mine alone, she'll spend hers with her friends
Until it ends
She wears socks up to her knees
She has responsibilities

She's an athlete
Her tennis team's to tough for me
A broken arm, an injured knee
Last Saturday, a court of clay
Can't say I'm unimpressed with the way she plays

Two months too soon
A word too few, what used to rhyme
A song she heard once, I hear it all the time
And it's mine
Twice the key has changed
Entire verses rearranged

But she's an athlete
She'll never be impressed with me
A broken arm, an injured knee
November 3rd, forgot the words
To my favorite song, I'm sure that no one heard

Striped shirts and allergies
There are no words
I'm inflecting a tone
One to improve my speech
Talk shop when you walk in the room
Striped shirts and allergies
This can't be happening to me

The best idea I've ever had is written on my hand
And I'm saving it for my rock 'n' roll band
You wouldn't understand

She's an athlete
Her tennis team's too tough for me
A broken arm, an injured knee
Last Saturday, a court of clay
Can't say I'm unimpressed with the way she plays

She's an athlete
