I was on my way to school, when I spotted you from afar
Trying to dodge the fools, who just parked their cars
I’d been thinking about this outfit
While I made up my school kit
My vest is my torso, I never suit up
The thread of my headphones, dangling under my crotch
I mustered all my courage, lit up my cigarette
Floating on the urge, to have a real life chat
With you the girl that I love, although you kicked and shoved
Me deeper in the well, but I’m anticipating facts
You were smoking yourself
Had to put off your earphones, ‘cause there was your Facebook friend
A sober time bomb
But I gave it my best shot
Back then you were smiling
But then your look began to sour, coming on my socializing
I wasn’t ready for this, we stood in the corridor
And I asked you to smoke a cig, instead of answering yeah sure
You said you were waiting for your friend, I said ok and went outside
And there I stood with my cigarette, didn’t know what to expect
All of a sudden you popped up, a long way further
You took a walk around the block; did you do that on purpose?
Or was it just bad luck, I could have kicked myself
My social skills may suck, but I might as well
Talk to a brick wall, the memories I recall
Are basking in the sunlight, you heft a sigh
When you got wind of me, your mind was on economics
But I seized the opportunity, and that’s what you expect from me
So I started a chat
How can I convince myself, that you’re a no-go?
Think of my own health, chances are only so-so
I can’t afford to ignore, you, you were “slightly bored”
Before I knew where I was, you reached for your last resort
And turned to my homie
With smalltalk and baloney
Because I left a few gaps

I’m having cop car illusions, and you hung down your head
Slowly passing me by, in my back I feel the threat
With a broken rear light, I’m an easy target
Hallucinations of your presence, make me tend to forget
I’m as blind as a bat; the sirens aren’t on the track
I thought I had my blue lights, but there’s a second van ahead

I thought you slung your hook, when I was lingering on
I gathered from your look, you couldn’t wait to get home
Hiding in your earphones
Trying to pass unnoticed, or rather sneak away
I clenched my fist; I really wanted you to stay
Against your will you came
And asked how my exam was
Always being fair and square
It began to down upon me, it came to nothing there
I shattered your illusion, the day after the fair
I realized I lost the game, I can’t accept that I failed
I know I should have been engaged
In economics instead, of letting you turn my head
That’s how it’s done, there’s occasion to be sad
But keep your problems to yourself, or else you’ll drag her down
You’ll get nowhere with that frown
I was afraid to loose you
Before we even met

CHORUS

A few weeks went by, and I tried to forget
Your deep brown eyes, but I’m afraid it went
From bad to worse instead
There was no way back
The patience I lack
Plus the undisputed fact
I’d never see you again
After I had my results, made me rush my fences
I always fuck it up, by asking Facebook questions
That didn’t please you
And you made it clear too; you were in the front rank
Noticed all of your friends, but I didn’t see you
When I saw for myself
All the re-exams
I had to take again, I was completely dazed
It didn’t seem to affect, your ever smiling face
You frolicked past me, and ignored my gaze
You were fake happy, so you wouldn’t lose face
I really didn’t know, what was happening to me
I gave away the show, in all honesty
Later I found out, you had re-exams yourself
About as many as I had, seven as a fact
I guess I don’t like your kind, let’s just leave it at that

CHORUS
