Ben Willms - Victoria

Just a new kid
In a new place
With new rules
Seein' new faces
They look in
Amazement
"What's he doing here"
Nighttime but his thoughts are loud
Right time for the wrongest crowd
Swept away in misplaced trust
His former life collecting dust
Well first semester's flowing past
Blue hair elastics in the grass
He picks them up, he likes the splash of hue
A spectacle, a sideshow freak
Is how he feels from week to week
He's lacking social elegance
While missing social cues
When times were dark, though
She was there
Not much in common did they share
And hence it caught them unawares
The friendship that would bloom
"Her name's Victoria,"
The story starts
'Til hours late you'd hear me fret
'Til parents cut the internet
And still you knew we'd be
The best of friends
Roller coasters, ups and downs
Two separate lives, two separate towns
United during school
But not at home
It's senior year, they're closer still
She'd get up off a windowsill
To join him on his spare
So that he wouldn't be alone
They'd laugh and they'd procrastinate
He wrote in journals every day
How school would end, she'd go away
But little did he know
About Victoria
You know she stuck
The memories you and I have made
For half a decade, now, have stayed
There isn't even half a day
I fail to think about 'em
You're beautiful inside
And beautiful out
And I haven't a hint of a doubt that you'll go far
Musical, musing
And gifted with art
And I love you with all of my heart until the end
Talented, loyal
A foil to me
No way you could possibly be a better friend
Laughing at nothing
The way that we do
Nothing better I'm saying
It's true; You're cool and good
Life's an adventure
With you at my side
Just the way
That we harmonize, just as we should
Different like winter and summer are split
But it doesn't seem to matter a bit
'Cause you're Victoria
Don't let them get you down
If I had things go just my way
I'd go to see you every day
And tell you all will be okay
And I'm glad that you're around
You're in Victoria
But look at all we've done
Takes just a day after we chill
For me to miss you so, and still
You're never any further
Than the moon and setting sun
(You're Victoria)
(Don't let them get you down)
