I was cleaning the pool and listening to the Hinder: Extreme Behavior album when I was inspired by the song Homecoming Queen. I had to hurry inside before I lost the idea. Here it is!
Inspired by “Homecoming Queen” by Hinder
:Background:
In the last year of middle/Jr. High school, a boy and girl lived in the same town, went to the same school, and had most of their classes together.
The boy liked the girl, but the girl, being so popular, never gave him a second glance. She fell in love with a guy who used her, and after five years, she killed herself
The boy who liked the girl in middle school went to her funeral, then went home and to bed with a heavy heart. When he woke up, he was back in his old bedroom at his parent’s house. Looking around, nothing had changed, though he wondered how he got there. He froze when he heard his mother calling upstairs to wake him up and get ready for school. SCHOOL? He hurried and froze again when he saw himself in the mirror. In his fourteen-year-old body. He stared, wide-eyed. What was going on?
The answer: he’d gone back in time. They all had. The girl was alive (he realized, once he got back to school before his mother got a chance to beat him with the spoon). And he had a second chance to win her over before she would end up killing herself in the five years that would follow.
But would she give him the chance to steal her heart before the other boy would?
It's been five years since Ive seen her face
She's the holy ghost lost without a trace
And now were left with the what ifs
It's been five years since she left for LA
She's an angel with a dirty face
And it seems to me
She's a casuality of all the pressure
That we put on her
And now we've lost her for good
It's such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
And she never walked on water
Guess no one really saw her
She was so adored by everyone
When it came to looks she was next to none
But loved partying and having too much fun
Then she hooked up with the wrong someone
And he promised everything under the sun
And it seems to me
She's a casuality of all the pressure
That he put on her
And now we've lost her for good
It's such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
And she never walked on water
Cause no one really saw her
It's such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove and so many to please
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her
Well I never knew you
Wish I could've saved you
From losers that drained you
Before you got strung out
With so much potential
How could you let us down
It's such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
And she never walked on water
Cause no one really saw her
Shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove and so many to please
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her
It's such a shame shame shame...
