Verse 1 You cross the courtyard every day at half past three, Sunlight on your jacket, books tucked under your arm. You’re laughing with someone else again, And I’m leaning on the rail pretending I’ve nowhere else to be. Verse 2 You stop to tie your hair back by the gate, Say something that makes them all laugh out loud. I try to read the poster on the wall, But every time you turn around I’m staring at the ground. Chorus Always watching you When you think nobody’s there. Trying not to give myself away By the way I stand and stare. If you ever looked my way for real I don’t know what I’d do — I’m always watching you. Verse 3 Sometimes you hum a tune I recognise, Something soft from the radio last night. You walk right past and never notice me, But somehow that small moment Makes the whole day feel alright. Bridge Maybe one day I’ll say your name out loud, Like it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. Till then I’ll keep my distance in the crowd And hope the day comes soon. Final Chorus Always watching you Though I try to play it cool. Every little thing you do Makes me feel like such a fool. And if you ever turned around And saw me standing there — You’d know I’m watching you. Outro (soft harmonies) Always watching you… Always watching you…
