Hexes & Ohs’ “H-H-Highschool”

This song by Canadian indie band Hexes & Ohs, a self-described Montréal electro-pop duo, is my current obsession. There’s something cute and romantic about the video that I didn’t originally get from just the song itself. I don’t know how I feel about the difference.

In any case, I’m glad I’m not the same old skinny kid from high school.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You really want it, don’t you?
You really want it, don’t you?
Feel it all over, all over again
Bound to keel over, like lovers we lay

Your mouth is all dried up
Your tongue is all tied up
Feel it over, all over again
About to keel over, like lovers we lay

You don’t, cuz you won’t, so you don’t, so you can’t
You don’t, cuz you won’t, so you don’t, so you can’t
Nothing has changed
The same old skinny kid from high school

You don’t, cuz you won’t, so you don’t, so you can’t
You don’t, cuz you won’t, so you don’t, so you can’t
Awkward and (derange ?)
The same old skinny kid from high school 

Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Feels like sleepwalking, all over again
There’s no sense in talking, like lovers we lay

When it’s second nature
A permanent fixture
It’s hard to recover, all over again
I’m bound to discover, like lovers we lay

Check out more at the band’s website or on Apple’s iTunes Store. I’d recommend you see them live (I know I want to!), but it appears that their only upcoming tour dates are in Toronto and Montréal.
