I wake up
My shoulder's cold
I’ve got to leave here
Before I go
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
Then I see you
you’re walking cross the campus
Cruel professor studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
Walked to class In front of ya
Spilled kefir on your keffiyah
you look inside
and turn toward the door
drag your feet along the floor
then i see you
you’re walking cross the campus
cruel professor
studying romances
how am i supposed to pretend
i never want to see you again?
how am i supposed to pretend
i never want to see you again?
In the afternoon
you're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony
after class
