And will this be our second chance, our secret better lives?
Adjusted freedom, somewhat less unsupervised
And did these girls show interest as I walked across the lawn
Or hint that in the broader sense I should be moving on?

They live where I won't know the town
On streets I won't be strolling down
And if I ask, they will not be you
Any more than you
I know that everyone thinks so,
I didn't mean, what do I say?
And now will anyone ever do?

I'm back in class and having to explain where things went wrong
I'm here in someone's school assembly string-along
I move out of an usher's way, but don't apologize
My eyes don't find you as the lights dim
Someone's mother cries

And nine days out of ten
I'd say it couldn't be more gone away
And mostly
I don't notice that there's someone
There, but when I look
It's you
I know that everyone thinks so,
I didn't mean, what do I say?
And now will anyone ever do?

I don't know where, I do love you
In a skirt, at school
