Point to Prove (I Was an Ugly Kid)

I'll put in all my hours I'll play it every night just to get a little better at guitar I'm taking singing lessons at 80 bucks a lesson Who the hell am I impressin' And why do I work so hard? I'll search my soul to deep below, to find the answers I think the reason for it, is I was an ugly kid With a handsome older brother Yeah, I was a catch Like a cold or an ugly fish I knew what to do Wear my talent like a mask and hope it magically distracts you But I'm back, I've practiced My act's together, I got better And a point to prove I didn't know her, in June I got her screen name As valuable as gold for antisocial kids in tenth grade I spent the rest of my vacation glued down to my chair, was Afraid to miss a second of our digital affair, 'cause When summer ended I could finally be the guy I tried to be in person but could only be online The first day of the school year, we get our seat assignments I ended up right next to her and we just sat in silence And I wouldn't wish that awkwardness on anybody I think the reason for it, is I was a chubby kid With an athletic older brother Yeah I was a catch As in I was easy to catch during tag, 'cause I was fat I knew what to do I would chase a newer passion 'cause I'm sick of nothin' happenin' But I'm back, I've practiced My act's together, I got better And a point to prove And I have hit the bottom And lost, tossed, and gosh, I've been burned by gossip And I have gone full Hot Topic Was an ugly duckling crossed with a few Hot Pockets And I'll be damned if where I am's not what I worked for I think the reason for it, is I wasn't talented When all I wanted was attention And I was in no way, no way A catch in life or love I knew what to do To do it cause I love it and well not my older brother, yeah Now I'm just playing 'cause I've stopped dying from embarrassments Hiding from comparisons I'm driven I got vision, time, ambition And a point to prove
