Verse 1: (male vocals) Hallway buzz, she's comin' near, Sarah's smile, it's all I see But her eyes are lookin' past me, clear, at someone she longs to be With. It's Michael, yeah, that's his name, quarterback in the popularity game. I'm just a shadow in the hall, destined to trip, destined to fall. This ain't no triangle, it's more complex than that. She's got no clue that I even exist on the map. Verse 2: (female vocals) Locker mirror, check my hair, hopin' Michael will stop and stare He's got that swagger, that winning streak, makes my knees go all weak But he's always lookin' for someone new, someone blonde, with eyes of blue. Olivia, yeah, she's the one, baskin' in his spotlight, like she's won. This ain't no triangle, no simple equation. Just a heart full of longing, and pure frustration. Verse 3: (male vocals) Game's over, crowd's gone home, see Olivia, she's all alone Cheerleader bright, a dazzling gleam, livin' out my high school dream But she's talkin' 'bout another guy, some quiet dude, I don't know why Alex, yeah, that's the one she seeks. Says she sees somethin' special when he speaks. This ain't no triangle, it's gettin' absurd. Every move I make just feels misheard. Verse 4: (female vocals) Practice done, I see him there, Alex, with that thoughtful air He's got a kindness in his soul, makes me lose my self-control But he's always gazin' far away, at Sarah, like she lights his day He doesn't see me, standin' here, whisperin' his name, year after year. This ain't no triangle, it's a twisted design, Wishin' his heart could just align with mine. Chorus: (multiple voices) We're in a love square, can't you see? Four corners of misery Reachin' out, but never touchin' This messed up game, we're always clutchin' At somethin' just beyond our grasp In this love square, nothin' ever lasts Emotions tangled, feelin' raw Stuck in this love's most frustrating flaw. Bridge: (All, alternating lines) Alex: She's the sun, but I'm in the shade. Sarah: He's the king, of a heart parade. Michael: She's the prize, but out of my league. Olivia: He's the poem, I can't complete the page. All: This love square's got us trapped inside, Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Chorus: (All, overlapping) We're in a love square, can't you see? Four corners of misery Reachin' out, but never touchin' This messed up game, we're always clutchin' At somethin' just beyond our grasp In this love square, nothin' ever lasts Emotions tangled, feelin' raw Stuck in this love's most frustrating flaw. Outro: (All, fading out) Love square, lines are blurred Every feelin' misconstrued, misheard Will we ever break free? This is our destiny Love square, 'round we go Where it stops, nobody knows. Nobody knows...
