Baegel by Kyle Nemchek Lyrics
How was I so wrong?
Was it nothing all along?
Or maybe it’s still there
But you just didn’t care
1, 2, 1, 2
Just undo, undo
From a riddle of a first date
To the middle of an earthquake
And she left a hole
9 out of 10 to the decimal
Hindsight 20/20, no spectacles
Couldn't see that she would be the next to go
Guess I'm not worth a second get-to-know
But you can’t fix things that you can't control
There was just "no spark" or electrical
On life support like a vegetable
Running on two different schedules
Everything bagel with a sesame soul
Head over heels I just bask in awe
Til she bounced like a Terrapin basketball
Fled Stamford High through the exit door
Then left me colder than an Eskimo
Curious but can't seem to ask at all
Pallbearers already nailed the casket close
Compare the fantasy to the actual
Diamond on my mind til it cracks the skull
Busted like a bracket, non taxable
Miss America, international
Tongue does laps round the track at school
Silent stadium feels packed to full
Scared as hell but I’m acting cool
Try to keep it light, keep it casual
Southpaw stance with a massive hook
That leaves me tilted, off balance, shook
Bob and weave but not fast enough
Wanna close my eyes but I have to look
Time to panic, I’m manic and irrational
Once she flipped the script like a spatula
I try to move forward but she’s backing up
One chance, one night, one bachelor
There was "nothing wrong" but is that enough
Or should we axe it now before disaster comes?
Could have had it all but she chose to run
Another casualty of the smoking gun
Just as I start to open up
She presses Next and we're over, done
"It's not going anywhere but it was so much fun"
Cause she's looking for a 10 when I could have been the 1
She's looking for a ten when I could have been the one
Was it nothing all along?
Or maybe it’s still there
But you just didn’t care
1, 2, 1, 2
Just undo, undo
From a riddle of a first date
To the middle of an earthquake
And she left a hole
9 out of 10 to the decimal
Hindsight 20/20, no spectacles
Couldn't see that she would be the next to go
Guess I'm not worth a second get-to-know
But you can’t fix things that you can't control
There was just "no spark" or electrical
On life support like a vegetable
Running on two different schedules
Everything bagel with a sesame soul
Head over heels I just bask in awe
Til she bounced like a Terrapin basketball
Fled Stamford High through the exit door
Then left me colder than an Eskimo
Curious but can't seem to ask at all
Pallbearers already nailed the casket close
Compare the fantasy to the actual
Diamond on my mind til it cracks the skull
Busted like a bracket, non taxable
Miss America, international
Tongue does laps round the track at school
Silent stadium feels packed to full
Scared as hell but I’m acting cool
Try to keep it light, keep it casual
Southpaw stance with a massive hook
That leaves me tilted, off balance, shook

Wanna close my eyes but I have to look
