Okay, everything is alright
We’re in your room playing our tunes
We made it out of the spotlight
‘cause screaming grown-ups don’t make our day
I name you for your silence, Lunch pal
And you taught me how to share
I’ve known you ever since the 3rd grade
Around you I feel so cool, almost invincible
You’ll always be my bento-buddy
Please let me know when you’re ready to go
I name you for your silence, Lunch pal
And I remember that I still care
