Track
Tamagotchis to Pokémon on Wave 1.
Wave 1 track 02
The first song written for ME & The Robots, built around outsider energy, school-day nostalgia, and the idea that your weirdest details might be your best ones.
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
The first song written for ME & The Robots, built around outsider energy, school-day nostalgia, and the idea that your weirdest details might be your best ones.
But here’s the twist—the main character ends up with the girl, and it turns out she’s a nerd too. It’s a heartwarming reminder that sometimes, people are their own worst critics. The truth is, everyone is a little weird in their own way, and that’s what makes each person unique.
