Sometimes, I forget I’m not in Canada anymore
Like when I ordered a double-double
And get a stare from the multiple-pierced girl
Behind the counter wondering what I just said
Or when I say to my friends “Let’s get a Timmies”
Instead of a cup of coffee
And when I ordered some doughnuts, I call them Timmies
Boy, I am too Canadian
I wasn’t born there but here
Maybe if I had a fake American accent
And stop thinking of Tim Horton’s
I probably fit in and have more friends
However, I never fit in
Either I am too Canadian to be American
Or am too American to be Canadian
A problem I had have since I was a kid
Anyway, both countries are in me
So, if you want to be with me
Join me for a Timmies
And help me by trying to understand me
