Kristine From The 7th Grade lyrics - Ben Folds

Are you the same Kristine

I knew from 7th grade?

No, it's definitely you

Just with a new last name

Someone who laughed a lot

Is what I remember the most

But the face in your profile

Suggests maybe not so much anymore

Yeah, I got the e-mails

These last two years every day

And I just don't reply because

I'm not really sure what to say

Kristine, from the 7th grade

The anger, the ALL CAPS

And all the pseudoscience

The misspellings, they must be on purpose

We went to a good school, Kristine

So, what would you imagine I might

Take from this deluge of memes

With the cryptic, dark Bible quotes

Guns, and dead fetuses

Seriously Kristine, are you okay?

'Cause this world can be wonderful too, yeah?

Do you ever see it that way

Kristine, from the 7th grade

There's a break in the rain

A perfect time for a walk

The smell of wet leaves, the warm smiles and hellos

These things exist in the real world, you know

Oh, what a shame, Kristine

This disease that makes strangers of friends

But if these days it's really us's and them's

Maybe you should just take me off

Both of those lists

'Cause it's such a short, and sad and beautiful life

Do you ever see it that way?
