Hello (From the Light Side)

By Margaret Jones | 2/22/16 6:21am

A ballad from a NARP to their non-NARP significant other to the tune of Adele's "Hello." (Note that I don’t actually have an athlete boyfriend.) (Allow me the delusion, please.)

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these weeks you'd like to eat
And go over everything
They say that Foco’s good for facetime
But yours I’m barely seeing

Hello, can you hear me
I'm in the omelet line just dreamin’ about who we used to be
When you weren’t in season, so free
I've forgotten how it felt to date a DP2 athlete
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles

Hello from the light siiiiiide
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry your lift wasn’t fun
And when I eat here you’re always on a run
Hello from the light side
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for being a NARP
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are classes?
I don’t know when I’ll ever see you because you’re always at practice
I hope that you sleep well
Did you ever make it out of that week where midterms put you through hell
It's no secret that the both of us
Have different lunchtimes

So hello from the light siiiiiide
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you congrats on winning your game
But it seems that your workload is making you insane
Hello from the light siiiiiide
At least I can say that I've tried
To get you to come out and have fun with me
But it’s all in vain ‘cause you’re so damn busy all the time
Ooooohh, all the time
Ooooohh, all the time
Ooooohh, all the time
All the time
Hello from the light side
I don’t know how you haven’t died
With all your projects and CS that you have to code
Because if I were you, I would probably explode
Hello from the light side
Kinda surprised you haven’t died
And really I can’t wait until your season ends
‘Cause you can finally go back to being my boyfriend again
