Awkward - Intellectual

[Intro: CHUN]

“Ok I got the milk, let me put it in there, I just need some bread bu-oh my, oh, shoot what is she doing here? Oh my gosh, hopefully, she doesn’t see me. Oh, I’m not ready for this, nah.”

[Chorus]

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit awkward

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit awkward

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit awkward

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit awkward (woah, woah)

[Verse One]

Stroll inside the store for some groceries

But I’m paranoid, I feel like someone scoping me

I’m in aisle 10 and I’m browsing bread

That’s when I see my friend

I turn my head then hope she don’t notice me

Oh no, she’s approaching me!

I hear the footsteps

Right, left

Deep breath

She know it’s me

I try to flee the scene without seeming so mean

My social battery on low power mode

Oh no, she just poked my shoulder

My heart beating speedily

Feel a rush of dopamine cause’ my crush is two steps away from me

I turn around

Palms sweaty, eyes set on the ground

Face twitching, I open my dry mouth

“Bye, nice to meet you”

“I-I mean nice to-nice to-nice to see you”

She looks at me confused

“Jonathan, are you ok?”

I said, “Yeah, I’m pretty cool”

Didn’t know what else to say

So I stood there silent for like twenty seconds

“Yeah, Jon, being smooth wasn’t something you were blessed with”

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

I apologize if I don’t know what to say

Hey, hey, hey

I apologize if I make you feel some type of way

Hey, hey, I admit it

I’m a little awkward and I don’t know if it’s wicked

Maybe I should cut the fuss and accept it (yeah)

[Chorus]

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

[Verse Two]

Do people cringe when I st-st-stutter?

Or tell a joke that lands in the gutter?

Ooh, I wish I was butter smooth with it

But I get bu-bu-butterflies in my stomach when I conversate with others

My cheeks, they blush

My knees, they buckle

My lips, they quiver

I shake and shiver

Fidget with my fingers like a nervous tick

And I only get more nervous wondering if some will notice it

Like, "Bro, what's up with the awkwardness?"

"Awkward"!

But is that label really a curse?

What if I’m just an introvert?

I know that everyone fumbles their words

Everyone, "wait, you go first"

Talks at the same time sometimes

We make silence a crime

But we all quiet with the stranger in the elevator

So if we don’t know what to say, can you really hate us?

We do embarrassing things that make us feel ashamed

But awkwardness ain’t a mistake

It’s a trait

It don’t gotta be shunned

It gotta be embraced

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

I apologize if I don’t know what to say

Hey, hey, hey

I apologize if I make you feel some type of way

Hey, hey, I admit it

I’m a little awkward and I don’t know if it’s wicked

Maybe I should cut the fuss and accept it (yeah)

[Chorus]

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

I’m a little bit eccentric

Woah, woah

[Outro]

"Uh-oh-ah, s-so the weather's nice?"
