And he's telling everyone a story
Cause he thinks his life is boring
How many times had Travis elaborated on the truth? Sure he had been to all the places he's said he'd been but half of the stories he was now telling had been embellished upon. So what if he had lived in all those places, what did it matter anyway? He'd always been alone in these places, just like he was alone here, in Roscoe. His parents were so caught up in their work and their liberal child rearing strategies; Travis may have been to all of those exotic places but his life was far from exotic, it was lonely and boring.
And he fights so you won't ignore him
Cause that's his biggest fear
Even Robbie who believed in speaking out against what you believed was wrong was starting to think that Travis was going over the edge with his battle with Whaller, as Travis, not Smog. Travis spent nearly every afternoon in detention, barely making it in time to start the show a feat only completed because the detention hours had changed. With Whaller Travis was locked in a battle of wits, sometimes he won, sometimes he lost but half the time Travis couldn't care less about the things he was fighting for. In all of the other schools he had gone to it didn't matter if he blended into the background because he never stayed around long enough to care what happened, but somehow it was important here that he spoke out and people knew who Travis Strong was, not just Smog from RFR.
And he cries, but you'll rarely see him do it
he cried and sometimes he couldn't explain why. The last time anyone had seen him cry was at the blow-out two years ago, since then Travis only ever cried alone when his parents weren't home and the house was silent.
And he loves but he's scared to use it
He caught himself watching Lily sometimes, six months ago he realized that he was still in love with her. Which couldn't be happening because before his feelings for Lily had nearly destroyed to many friendships and he wasn't about to start that all over again.
So he hides behind the music
Cause he likes it that way
He and Lily had a distance between them, a distance he had put there for his own sanity. He stayed at the switchboard and either left before Lily had the chance to say anything to him or he stayed saying that he had to take care of ne thing or the other; anything to hide from Lily and his feelings for her.
She's calling out to you
Come to think of it Lily didn't seem to mind that neither one of them had shared a conversation in months and this was the first time that Travis had actually stopped to think about it.
