Dont you think that Im bound to react now?

My fingers definitely turning to black now

Maybe Ill put my love on ice

And teach myself, maybe thatll be nice

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now

The longer words are really breaking my back now

Maybe Ill learn to understand,

Drawing a square with a pencil in hand

Mathematically turning the page

Unequivocally showing my age

Im practically center stage

Undeniably earning your wage

Maybe Ill put my love on ice

And teach myself, maybe thatll be nice

Listen master can I ask you a question?

Is it the fingers, or the brain

that youre teaching the lesson?

Maybe Ill put my love on ice

And teach myself, maybe thatll be nic
