Clip-on Tie (School Uniforms)

I don't care if everybody I meet hates them, I loved them to death, and it's always going to be funny to me that I got away with wearing a clip-on tie for the whole seven years I had to wear a uniform. So...yeah.

Oh, how I used to love
looking fancy all the time
With my uniform all buttoned up
and on my neck, a clip-on tie

I had a nice clean head of hair
all combed and natural
If you saw me walking down the street
you’d think I was late for the ball

And now there’s a gap
in my collar bone
And it makes me miss my uniform
and my clip-on tie too

Those sleeve buttons weren’t ever loose
for those years I wore it in my school
I felt cozy and snug as a bug
and not a thing but cool

I wore it all ‘till late in night
‘till the sun went down around eight
and as I slept and ate my breakfast
to put it on again, I couldn’t wait

And now there’s a gap
in my collar bone
And it makes me miss my uniform
and my clip-on tie too

But the outgrown clothes
of my old school suit
Aren’t my style anymore
and I no longer think it’s cute

But it left a comfy gap
that I still feel lucky to have
‘cause it reminds me that, back in the day,
I had fun and bragged and laughed

And it may not be
my style anymore
but I’m sure I’ll always miss it,
that I know for sure
