Andrés (Aparicio)
Bargain Bin Action Figure
[Chorus]
If you saw me now
Would I still be your, would I still be your Superhero
Or did I not save you when you needed me the most?
Fair enough, I'm a bargain bin action figure now
Maybe someday I'll find myself back on your shelf again, oh

[Spoken]
How dare your parents sell that house
That you grew up in without consulting me?
I was getting drunk down the street at David's house
When I decided to pay your old room a visit
I still knew how to get in through the back
It still smells like candles, it was clear that no one was home
But I still hoped to find you here
In your room was a box of things on your floor
And a peculiar treasure chest of notes
I barely recognized my handwriting
"Dear Mama Bear, you know that I'm getting very hungry
So I'll be making my way back to your pantry
I'm gonna get me some sugar and some honey"
A response in your handwriting saying, "Andrés
You can't keep skipping Jazz band to give me Spanish lessons
Less than 3, less than 3, semicolon and a parenthesis"
Oh, that's a... that's great
But I kept skipping jazz band didn't I sweety?
And we kept ditching school together
Whenever there was a late start
And I remember how intimidated I was
By your mother before she warmed up to me
Haha, or that tri-tip sandwich that I ate at that football game
That made my stomach sick and you danced around me to cheer me up

I shouldn't be here right now
But I picked up another note in my handwriting saying
"It's both our faults, I love you
Last night was lovely and I'm so sorry I can't be with you right now
But growing up is so hard
I don't have anything but love for you
Even though we're not together
I don't ever wanna feel a great distance between us
Because no matter what, you're my best friend
You make me cry like a little baby, and only you can do that
Because I have so much for you in me..."

[Chorus]
If you saw me now
Would I still be your, would I still be your Superhero
Or did I not save you when you needed me the most?
Fair enough, I'm a bargain bin action figure now
Maybe someday now...
[Outro]
Let the stars align in the way that they're meant to be
I'll never force to love again
The nights we spent as hedonists in your car making love
I'll never forget
I'm "on one" tonight, meeting strangers in an empty pool
And you're still stuck in Bakersfield
When I wake up in the morning, no missed calls
Just a text that says
"I hope you're okay, I hope you stay safe"
