Andrew Barth Feldman - Me And Mr Popularity Lyrics

Dad got his ear pierced, he's forty-nine
Unemployment isn't treating him fine
He tries on my clothes as if they'll make him cooler

Mom's still working on some lawyer case
She's never here, I'm forgetting her face
And I'm afraid of what dad might take up next

Peter booked his next big role, bussing tables
He says it's a stretch for him
But me, surprisingly, I'm doing great
Because today

Me and Mr. Popularity will be
Spеnding more time you see
'Cause hе needs a tutor for computer science
Until the semester's end
And for me this is the closest thing to having a friend

Two weeks later and things are neat
Sometimes he waves to me on the street
But that's only when there's no one in sight

I could take it personally
But we're not hanging, just tutoring
And it's fine, I understand my role
But today, he came to me
It was kind of new
Asked if I wanted to smoke with him some night
And I said "Um, well, I've never smoked before but alright"

Me and Mr. Popularity will be
Engaging in illegal activity
Guess he's tired of computer science
So now I'm gonna spend a night getting to know a joint
And maybe a friend

Such a strange and new sensation
Actually having a conversation
Feeling anxious and nervous
But he's incredibly calm

He talks about football and girls
He lives in such a different world
A life he seems to protect
So I nod and I listen and learn
As it suddenly starts to turn
Things you'd never expect
Seeing he's somewhat of a wreck
And that's something we can connect on

Dad now listens to Lil' Wayne
Mom is stressed and going insane
And normally I would care
Peter's out auditioning
Out there living the American dream
At least that's what they say
But me, refreshingly, I'm doing great
I'm appreciating every time I spend
'Cause I never knew
I never knew
Back then that

Me and Mr. Popularity
Would be spending more time, you see
'Cause he needed a tutor for computer science
But that was way back then
Now we talk and laugh again and again
And really, I think him and me
Are possibly
Becoming friends
