Block 3

Staring at the clock
Waiting for the bell to send us to block 3
Where the amber curls
Of her hair are waiting patiently.

Two rows up, one across
Like a Knight's advance
I while away the hour
Always hoping for just one glance.

My smile’s well rehearsed
And the mirror doesn't lie.
She’d return the favor I know
If I could just catch her eye.

No I ...don't know why, don't know why
I’ve never asked her before.
I have to try, have to try
I can't sit back ...anymore.

With a subtle twist of her wrist
The note creases and is passed on to her friend.
I imagine my name folded.... inside
Wishing I knew ....every word she penned.

I'll drive her down to the shore
We'll walk barefoot in the sea.
She'll notice me for sure
As soon as I turn 16.

No I... don't know why, don't know why
I’ve never asked her before.
I have to try, have to try
I can't sit back like this anymore.

She'll run away with me to the city
Escape this dead suburb.
I know she'd leave with me tomorrow
If I could just muster the courage to say a single word.

No I ...don't know why, don't know why
I’ve never asked her before.
I have to try, have to try
I can't sit back like this anymore
No I... don't know why, don't know why
I’ve never just told her my name
And I have to try, have to try
No.... I can't go on this way

So I was wondering......
If you'd wanna...see a movie with me?
