Track Name: Textbook Kid
He's a numbers man with the cleanest hands
As long as it adds up, he understands
But he's a textbook kid, jumping off of the bridge
If it doesn't do what he thought it did
Well he's a numbers man, but he doesn't have a plan
When it jumps off in the streets
He's a textbook kid, through his flinching eyelids
He's watching out for the flashes and beeps

She makes him write her name all over
Walls and signs on every corner
She likes to see it there all around
The ice cube where she lives

He's going out in a hooded sweatshirt
Making those emphatic gestures
She likes to know what he's doing at night
It helps her get to sleep

Evidence, evidence
Lettering in the brightest reds
Hiding and trying not to get caught
Almost every night

She walks out with expectations
Trees initialed, hearts in pavement
If they don't have words for her
Then that's cause for concern

Everyone's trying really hard
Everyone's trying really hard
