Are you the same Kristine
I knew from 7th grade?
No, it's definitely you
Just with a new last name
Someone who laughed a lot
Is what I remember the most
But the face in your profile
Suggests maybe not so much anymore

Yeah, I got the e-mails
These last two years every day
And I just don't reply because
I'm not really sure what to say
Kristine, from the 7th grade

The anger, the ALL CAPS
And all the pseudoscience
The misspellings, they must be on purpose
We went to a good school, Kristine
So, what would you imagine I might
Take from this deluge of memes
With the cryptic, dark Bible quotes
Guns, and dead fetuses
Seriously Kristine, are you okay?

'Cause this world can be wonderful too, yeah?
Do you ever see it that way
Kristine, from the 7th grade

There's a break in the rain
A perfect time for a walk
The smell of wet leaves, the warm smiles and hellos
These things exist in the real world, you know
Oh, what a shame, Kristine
This disease that makes strangers of friends
But if these days it's really us's and them's
Maybe you should just take me off
Both of those lists

'Cause it's such a short, and sad and beautiful life
Do you ever see it that way?
