[Verse 1] Morning on the platform I take my glasses off By the ticket gate, I swear I saw you wave at me Probably not, I know But just a little I start to hope from this far away [Pre-Chorus] Contacts… not yet, maybe ’Cause the world gets too real, too fast [Chorus] ’Cause if I get closer you’ll see it, right That I like you— I can’t hide it now Nearsighted girl focus slightly off A little blur feels safe to me [Verse 2] Passing in the hallway You call my name My heart is the only thing running too fast I act like I don’t see I look down, but your smile is something I can still tell [Pre-Chorus 2] These strong lenses I can’t take off If I say it out loud it might just break [Chorus] Nearsighted girl acting like I don’t know But all this time I’m looking for you The closer you get the more I fear ’Cause it turns so clear— this feeling [Bridge] Someday I want to look right at you not through my glass just you [Chorus] Nearsighted girl love is growing up Little by little coming into focus Nearsighted girl under city light I know it’s true— you’re coming close [Outro] After-school sunset This feeling, at least isn’t wrong, right Nearsighted girl behind these lenses Someday I’ll say “I watched you all along”
