lyrics

There was an oriental boy
To her he was The Rage
He never met her but in pen upon a notebook page
But dimension's of no consequence when Love's behind the wheel
And she will not divert despite the hurt she feels
She kneeled and softly sang
"Wake up, Boomerang"
"Wake up, Boomerang"
"Wake up, Boomerang"

Meghan saw his flaws but chose to cherish them instead
She overlooked the pale blue lines that striped him heel to head
The ragged edge, the smudging ink that turned him to a blur
Just quirks and quite appealing properties to her
Now hear the words she sang
"Wake up, Boomerang"
"Wake up, Boomerang"
"Wake up, Boomerang"

In the fall she fell apart
Feeling down about the boy he'll never be
On her wall, or full of darts
He's still more of a man than
Any she's met out in 3-D
3-D....
Oh, Boomerang...

So, look back at the classroom where that simple sketch was made
Scrawled upon a desktop in the throes of 7th grade
A noble oriental lad in pencil drawn to scale
Standing hand-in-hand beside the girl who never failed
To hope each time she sang
"Wake up, Boomerang"
"Wake up, Boomerang"
"Wake up, Boomerang"
