lyrics

I never made
Much in the way of good grades
Always disrupted and feeling untied
I never held
Anyone's hands in those days
'Til I lucked out and I was feeling on top

I'll never go back
I'll never take the lunch out of my sack
All the cool kids think I'm feeling alright
I'll never go back
I'll never take another look
Keeping my thoughts depressed in a book
Thinking I can't hear what you say
I'm pressed in a book
You're thinking the coast is clear
But I can hear you so near

I never make
Any headway with what you say
Anything real you just keep it from me
Soon as we cross
Another head lost in another critique
You've got some problems babe
Take it from me

And to this day all I can say is you got
You got spirit in you
I can hear it in you
And if it makes you feel more okay we got
We got near it, it's true
But that fear is in you
Yeah, that fear is in you

Thinking I can't hear what you say
I'm pressed in a book
You're thinking the coast is clear
But I can hear you so near

I would have thought that all that we'd got would be clearing
Disappearing you see
But it's here as we keep
Getting nearer
