But that was all that I ever tasted
In the end, it took me a dictionary
Soft and sweet and I stare up at her window
A little rain can clear the streets
At a party to which I was never invited
I just made the first team laugh and she never came to the phone
She danced with me and I still hold that memory
The times we were close, were far and few between
While she was giving herself for free
She was always in the bath
I lied to myself 'bout the chances I'd wasted
In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen
Did she close her eyes as I did when we held each other tight?
And it's surprising how quick
And la la la la la la la la la, means I love you
And I hide my humble hopes now
I never understood my failings then
Against the edge of my desk
And some days we'd walk the same way home
As I walk down her street, but I never made the first team
We dreamed of her and compared our dreams
Thinking back she made us want her
She lied to me with her body you see
To find out the meaning of unrequited
She became a magic mystery to me
The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes
And we'd sit together in double history twice a week
And the way she rubbed herself
