The Girl Behind the Library Desk / 図書館のキミへ

[Verse 1] We met when we were thirteen years old In a classroom painted green and gold Trading notes while the teacher turned away Laughing through another rainy day Back then the world was still so wide With all our dreams we couldn't hide Every hallway seemed to lead somewhere And every afternoon felt rare [Pre-Chorus 1] Time rolled on like a river downstream Carrying away our childhood dreams [Chorus 1] But when I close my eyes tonight You're still standing in the morning light Holding books against your chest The girl behind the library desk And though the years have come and gone Somehow that picture lingers on Like a song that never leaves my head The girl behind the library desk [Verse 2] We fell in love with different hearts Watched forever stories fall apart Shared the victories and the tears Growing older through the years Every phone call late at night Made the dark feel less like night You always knew just what to say When my confidence slipped away [Pre-Chorus 2] Now the old school building's disappeared But your memory remains so clear [Chorus 2] When I close my eyes tonight You're still standing in the morning light Holding books against your chest The girl behind the library desk And though the years have come and gone Somehow that picture lingers on Like a song that never leaves my head The girl behind the library desk [Interlude] [Bridge] The playground's gone The walls came down Another parking lot in town But in my mind The bell still rings And you're smiling through the spring [Chorus] When I close my eyes tonight You're still standing in the morning light Holding books against your chest The girl behind the library desk All the roads we've wandered through Keep leading me back home to you Not as lovers people read about But something deeper without doubt [Outro] We were young And life moved fast Funny how some moments last And every page I turn somehow I still can see you now The girl behind the library desk... The girl behind the library desk...
