That Funny Feeling
Earning an A in the class, failing the exam
Getting your dream job, it was a scam
Snap half-face pics, AirPod Pros, space buns
Eating Gerber baby puffs at your high school lunch
There it is again, that funny feeling
Curling your hair, using a flat iron
Being a homeless man, getting rich off of “Byron”
Asthmatic athletes, UGG boots, Taylor’s Version
Talking for hours on Snapchat but saying nothing in person
There it is again, that funny feeling
Thousands of Instagram followers, no real friends
Dating for one month, “our love has no end”
AP Calc, 3 a.m., growing older
Spending 7 dollars on your Starbucks order
There it is again, that funny feeling
Fifty dollar eyeshadow, dollar lipgloss
4.2 GPA, head empty… no thoughts
Violets are purple, beachy waves, eyebrow razors
Spending 100 dollars on 90’s Nike blazers
There it is again, that funny feeling
Thrifting an outfit, the tag says Shein
Posting kindness matters, being mean
Urban Outfitters, Three cameras, incorrect Google Translate
Growing up with people for them to go to college in different states
There it is again, that funny feeling
Going to a restaurant, a schoolmate works there
Getting your belly button pierced, doing it at Claire’s
Spray tans, freshman year, Harry Potter
Taking off waterproof mascara with micellar water
There is again, that funny feeling
Skipping class, sitting in the bathroom
Writing 2021, it’s 2022
Covid-19, high school Spanish, TikTok fame
Seeing 8th graders on the hill at a football game
There it is again, that funny feeling
