a classmate from a different world

Sorry for being forbidden man
I'm seeing you in every way
Sorry for being forbidden man
I'm seeing you in every way
Hey, uh

By the way that you dress, I can tell that you new here
Accent pretty quiet, maybe been here one or two years?
Tell me where you from, is it green? Is it cold?
Do you miss home? Are your siblings coming with you on the road?
Yeah, there's quite a bit of rain in this city
The school is really small and the food is kinda shitty
You can hang with me, though, if you down to
Usually get picked on, that's just what the clowns do, yeah

Sorry for being forbidden man (Ayy, ayy)
I'm seeing you in every way (Hey)
Sorry for being forbidden man
I'm seeing you in every way

Ayy, I was thinking like
Maybe after class, I can show you what the city like
Drop off our bags, hit up Wendy's for a bite
Tell me all your jokes, tell me everything you know
Girls don't talk to me, I just thought I'd let you know
I just want a friend I can vent to and not get judged
Pass it back and forth 'til we both get buzzed
They joy that I feel take me back to a kid
I wonder if you been enjoying it as much as I am
Tell me 'bout the other side, oven-roasted butterflies
If you think the mountain's pretty wait until the summertime
Family got a summer cabin out to the East
They'd be happier than ever if you'd ever wanna see
I know we just friends and you leave in a year
But the thought of you gone is only giving me fear
I wanna talk every day, I wanna take you more places
If you leave me here, my whole year will be wasted, yeah

Sorry for being forbidden man
I'm seeing you in every way
Sorry for being forbidden man
I'm seeing you in every way
