Static Shock from Chariot by BT Montrym

Conventional, that’s the name of the game.
Life is easy enough when each day remains the same.
Make my hair behave so I can leave by half past ten.
Stack my dreams in the nightstand till it’s time to dream again.
And go about my day, the same way.

Then, then came the static shock.
The shock of someone like me,
who might like me.
The shock would set me free.

Now I’m awake, and I make my second guess.
Though, despite all my doubt, I’m still hoping to impress.
Socks that don’t match, a new color of hair.
I’d try anything at this point if I thought that it might catch your stare.
And make you see, the real me.

You, you were the static shock.
The shock of someone like me,
who might like me.
The shock would set me free.
The shock would set me free.

Outside the cage, life is shiny and new.
And although it should be easy, I still don’t know what to do,
but I know who to ask and I know where to start. (use these lines to jump ^8va)
And I know I’ve only met you, but please look! at! my! heart!

You have been a static shock.
The shock of someone like me,
who might like me.
The shock would set me free.
The shock would set me free.
I’m charged up already
for this shock to set me free.
The shock will set me free.
