RECESS
Music and Lyrics by Mike Vitale

you remind me of recess
recess when I was eight
playing on the school yard
with a little girl named kate

i raced her on the monkey bars
and then she chased me to the gate
i tagged her at the log cabin
a point which we'd debate

cuantos anos tiene la nina
no actuas tu edad
crece
matura
nunca lo hacemos x2

and then she told me I had cooties
as she kissed me on the cheek
and then ran amongst the other girls
before i had a chance to speak

familiarity's a revolving door
and round and round I spin
but I'd gladly trade the exit for you girl
if you'd only let me in

crece
matura
nunca lo hacemos x4

you remind me of eighth grade
riding on a grey hound bus
taking some trip to an amusement park
all one thousand of us

she boarded the coach with quite a fuss and then plopped down next to me
initiated the strangest conversation that had ever yet happened between two teens
and then she told me I was stupid
and punched me in the junk
and then sat amongst the other girls that populate the bus

familiarity's a revolving door
and round and round I spin
but I'd gladly trade the exit for you girl
if you'd only let me in

crece
matura
nunca lo hacemos x4

a cup of whatever together girl
or maybe just the time of day
whatever I can get is good
and good is what you have to say

crushes are a revolving door
and round and round I spin
I guess I can see my way out girl
but I'm wishing you'd invite me

crece
matura
nunca lo hacemos x4
