Lyrics

In the halls of high school, I saw her there With her Tamagotchi, and her long, flowing hair She had a smile that could light up the night And I knew right then, she was out of sight

Oh, she’s amazing, she’s a dream come true But I’m just a loser, what can I do? With my Pokémon cards and my baggy jeans In this high school world, I’m stuck in between

She walks by with her friends, they laugh and they play While I sit alone, just wasting my day I wish I could tell her how I really feel But I’m just a nobody, this can’t be real

Oh, she’s amazing, she’s a dream come true But I’m just a loser, what can I do? With my Pokémon cards and my baggy jeans In this high school world, I’m stuck in between

She walks by with her friends Until one day, she turned around Said, “Hey, can I sit down?” We talked about the 90s, and all the fun From Tamagotchis to Pokémon

Now we’re walking hand in hand, it’s like a dream No longer a loser, or so it seems She saw the real me, beyond the facade And now we’re together, against all odds

Oh, she’s amazing, she’s a dream come true And now I’m not a loser, ’cause she loves me too With our Pokémon cards and our matching jeans In this high school world, we’re living the dream

So here’s to the 90s, and all the fun From Tamagotchis to Pokémon We found each other, and now we’re free In this high school world, it’s just her and me

About this song

The song that started it all, stripped back to its underdog heart and the specific memories that made the project feel real in the first place.

Before this song, making music was just something to do for fun, something personal. But once this track came to life, it felt like more than that. It made me realise that if I loved it, maybe others would too. It was the song that told me this project shouldn’t just exist in my own world—it needed to be shared.
