From the recording Could Have Been Beautiful
Lyrics
12 years of school.. together
not more then 10 words
all that time
must have seen me
skinny little me
maybe you didn't
you
you been away .. somewhere
imagine ..some exotic location
beach town surfing
or maybe big city businessman
new blue convertible
and those clothes
aint cheap
talk of the town
didnt think you could
get better lookin
you did
wish you'd talk to me
tell me something
anything .. something real
even if it might hurt
cant be anything but determined
I wait
Im no stalker
well
maybe is there a good kind
I'd like to walk
right up to you ..and say
tell me something interesting ..
explain to me where you been
what you been doin
that's my imagination.. again
thankfully too
sounded like an interrogation
sittin there
so cool you
all your friends
jokin laughin
the way guys will do
..watching.. not directly ..sort of
side watching..
and.. and .. oh no oh no
you are walking this way
turn my back real quick
like a stalker would do
..but I work here
quick look see
where you went
and its you ..
standing right there
...very next to me
very very next to me
and you say ..
cant believe
been so long
I mumble something polite
thankfully you just keep .. talkin
look at you ..
skinny little kid
kind of shy .. I remember
and now
you're the bomb
sure grew up
didnt you
you did
can he see me melting ..
help me.. I'm melting
he kept talkin ..grateful for that
takin care of his grandma
outta state ..all this time
down south ..
mumble and nod
type of response
I've perfected..
moves towards me
a soft hug ..
I melt .. ragdoll nothin
great to catch up with you..
hope to see you again
I know where you work ..now
as he walks away
his words vibrating in my mind
the rest of the afternoon
I know .. I know ..where you work now
he knows where I work
..you're the bomb
..what does that even mean
check the slang dictionary tonight
he knows ..where I work now
he knows ..where I work now
