i sang this around so many times in the past year i literally hate it lol
i don't even have the lyrics b/c i wrote them on a sheet of paper in like senior year before i even started using the notes app
anyway if u didn't know this song is a story and it's not about me

(2022: i am transcribing lyrics for old songs – hi!)
(this song is from the pov of an 11 year old girl who somehow acquires a large sum of money & spends it stalking her favorite boy band on their world tour)
welcome aboard
approximately how many go ignored
well i'll tell you, i'm not one
and this simply won't be fun 'til you comply
and admit that you are mine
and speaking of your global tour
i know the countries by heart and much more
airlines really sell for the future as well
where you go, i'm gonna go too
if you were from london, right near the west end
then i'd see a new musical every wekeend
and if you were an aussie, who lived in brisbane
then i'd spend my days doing
whatever it is that wallabies do all day
you bore me to death with sad little stories
of why i shouldn't waste my breath
cause i'd follow you all around the world
and though you don't know me
i swear that i'm the only girl
and they say i've hit a new low
but i care too much about you to let you go
and this is something real, as far as i know
now i'm reading skymall
i swear one day we're gonna go and purchase it all:
pet steps, garden statues i'm aware that
nobody is gonna use
if you were from china just promise one thing
that we'd have just one kid when we live in beijing
and if you were from greenland right near the north pole
tell the clauses hello for me and then
tell them it's not really safe to be giving kids coal
you bore me to death with sad little stories
of why i shouldn't waste my breath
cause i'd follow you all around the world
and though you don't know me
i swear that i'm the only girl
and they say i've hit a new low
but i care too much about you to let you go
and this is something real as far as i know
but i saw what you said o tentative bae
telling your girlfriend to have a great day
you've dated for more years than i've been alive
but given my age that's a bond i can strive to break
so how long will it take
sure i'll grow up but i'm sure that i'll never change
(no i won't) i won't change
(no i won't) i won't change
(no i won't) i won't change
but if you were controlling, here's an idea
travel east, take out kim, let's lead north korea
and if you were an anarchist, well that's a surprise
but we'd move to antarctica surrounded by penguins
and rioting down in the ice and i swear to you
it'd be nice as anything you've ever done before
look out because i'm here and i won for once and i
would follow you
wherever you may go
just so that you can know
it's the same to me regardless of the fame
i know my approach won't go out of style
'cause you're worth every mile
