lyrics

That’s When

Hand out flyers
Beg my friends
Come to my show
Hear my band

We’re the coolest thing
You’ll ever see
Who am I
A nobody

That’s when they try to talk to me
They try to talk to me
That’s when they try to talk to me
They try to talk to me

Some people want to get in free
But there’s a bring fifty policy
They don’t want to hear my philosophy
When will they want to talk to me

That’s when they try to talk to me
They try to talk to me
That’s when they try to talk to me
They try to talk to me

Now we’re stars
Like in a dream
Everyone treating us VIP
A struggling band trying to break the scene
Now they all want to talk to me

That’s when they tried to talk to me
They tried to talk to me
That’s when they tried to talk to me
They tried to talk to me

That’s when they tried to talk to me
They tried to talk to me
That’s when they tried to talk to me
They tried to talk to me
