Sophie

I've been staring at the wall for about an hour
Thinking about a pretty girl living down the street
Curly, bouncy red hair down to her shoulders
I'm gonna try and find a way for us to meet
Is there something I can do that will impress her?
My mind is racing and it all feels like a game
So many questions but I don't yet have the answers
And then I hear her name

Sophie, won't you come and talk to me?
I only see you everyday
Honey, can't you see?
That I'm not just another guy trying to catch your eye
If you come over, I'll tell you why

I'm alone with the rain pouring down from the gutter
(Oh-oh)
I'm trying to find the right words but I can't 'cause I'll st-stutter
(Oh-oh)
I first saw you there on picture day
Looking cute as hell as you looked my way
Then I finally built the nerve to ask you out
But you said no and I still scream and shout singing

Sophie, won't you come and talk to me?
I only see you everyday
Honey, can't you see?
That I'm not just another guy trying to catch your eye
If you come over, I'll tell you why
You look so beautiful in your killer black skirt and your knee socks girl
Sophie, don't you go walk out on me
I've got nothing left to lose, just you wait and see

Why did you have to go and never speak to me again?
All that I wanted to know was if you were looking for someone back then
It's the month of February, and your birthday's on the 10th
I'm wondering if you're married
Please tell me that this isn't the end

Sophie wouldn't come and talk to me
I only saw her everyday, but she couldn't see
That I wasn't just another guy trying to catch her eye
She didn't care how I felt inside
She was so beautiful
Will I ever find another like her in the world?
Graduation, Class of '17
I never saw her again, and that's the end of the story
