Ran from the park cause i hate the bullies

they want to punch when i just want to please

and i'm here in this hallway, there's blood on my face

you come and help me untie my knotted shoelace


teacher, would you teach me something today?

seems that my dreams all got lost on the way

the people i cherish find me a disgrace

i've made every bow in my life a knotted shoelace


stuck in this traffic jam a million cars long

over the drone of the radio song

i hear you calling me home

“come inside, it's supper time”


brother please

say something to me

that is real, that i feel

who's gonna put the smile back on my face?

yeah, who's gonna get me back into the race?

who's gonna untie my knotted shoelace?
