[Chorus] Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten One little curl and the whole day’s on trial He fixes that strand, then gives us a smile Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten [Verse 1] I’m up here, crowd, and I know the routine He’s got one unruly hair with a starring role in the scene Thumb goes up, little twist, now it’s lying just right He walks past the glass and comes back for one more sight He says, “If I leave it, I’ll look super ugly” Like that single strand’s the judge and the jury I say, “Jax, you look like you,” he says, “Not yet” Then smooths that same tiny curl like a personal debt [Chorus] Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten One little curl and the whole day’s on trial He fixes that strand, then gives us a smile Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten [Verse 2] At lunch he catches it in a spoon’s dull shine Holds up the fork like a stylist on the clock, “Give me time” He’s got a comb in his pocket with three teeth missing Still gets that one strand to behave, no kidding I tell the crowd, he can do it one-handed While trading a joke and a snack that he’s banding He’s got the whole crew waiting for the final inspection Then says, “It’s acceptable,” with serious affection [Bridge] Jaxon, breathe Just one beat That curl can stay We’re still here You’re not a haircut You’re not a test That’s what I tell him He says, “I know. Let me fix the rest.” [Chorus] Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten One little curl and the whole day’s on trial He fixes that strand, then gives us a smile Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten [Outro] Crowd, he’s back at it, thumb up, serious face Jaxon checks that one strand and takes his place Jaxon checks that one strand, checks it again Jaxon checks that one strand, then counts to ten
