Story Behind The Song

Finding out not every cute girl is exactly what she's cracked up to be.

Song Description

Boy finds himself attracted to girl, thinks he knows why, but judges the book by its cover and ends up without love.

Lyrics

Sometimes your eyes are bigger than your stomach, sometimes
They're bigger than your heart, don't try to push it
Maybe I should have tried to talk to her first
'Cause I was all the way wrong, now I know how she is and I know how bad it hurts
I tried to judge the book before it was written

I was blinded by her glasses
I was stricken with the way she spiked her hair
Then she covered me with bruises
Threw her hands in the air like she just don't care
And know I have to see her standing over there

This wasn't easy, but it was easier for her
When you know what you want, you tend to get it
She's not so innocent, and she's not that into guys
I don't know what she wants, but I know it's not me so I'll keep my distance
You live and you learn, even if you get burned

Sometimes your eyes are bigger than your stomach, sometimes
They're bigger than your heart, I had to go and push it

I was blinded by her glasses
I was panicked by her punk-rock savoir faire
Then she labeled me a loser
Threw her finger in the air 'cause she just don't care
And now I have to see her standing over there
