[Verse 1]
Back then, I couldn’t find the nerve, though honestly I tried,
I just so badly wanted to be sitting by your side.
A Saturday, the library, the window seat we shared,
Where golden sunlight filtered in, and I just sat and stared.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’m next to you, we turn the page… but only in my dream.
[Chorus 1]
In the quiet of the classroom, a perfect work of art,
Your long and smooth black hair just seemed to play the part.
Your intelligent eyes that seemed to speak in English prose,
I knew you were beyond my reach, but my gaze still follows where you go.
[Verse 2]
I’d dream of simple questions, like “What’s your favorite food?”
And in my textbook’s margins, draw our future understood.
I have to gather all my courage, can’t be scared of what’s at stake.
You only get to live life once, a chance I have to take.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Watching you with my eyes. Were you pretending not to notice?
[Chorus 2]
In the quiet of the classroom, a perfect work of art,
Your long and smooth black hair just seemed to play the part.
Your intelligent eyes that seemed to speak in English prose,
I knew you were beyond my reach, but my gaze still follows where you go.
[Bridge]
Gather my courage.
Don’t worry about making mistakes.
You only live once.
It’s too late to grieve when the chance has passed.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
The confidence you wore upon your stunning profile view,
It dazzled me, and made me hope to turn a page with you.
And on that day, while I was lost in dreams I hoped were true…
Out of the blue, you spoke to me, and our whole story grew.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I forgot what you said, but our story began in that classroom.
[Chorus 3]
In the quiet of the classroom, a perfect work of art,
Your long and smooth black hair just seemed to play the part.
Your intelligent eyes that seemed to speak in English prose,
I knew you were beyond my reach, but my gaze still follows where you go.
[Instrumental Solo]
