[Verse 1] I saw you by the record shop Blue cardigan and a plastic tie You laughed at nothing with your friends And I forgot how to act I learned your name from the bus stop wall I traced your shadow in the rain I kept your smile in my coat pocket Like a match I couldn't light [Pre-Chorus] I wait where you turn I count every door Don't look too hard You might see me more [Chorus] My blue cardigan boy My blue cardigan boy You never call my name But I keep on calling yours My blue cardigan boy My blue cardigan boy I'm too close for my own good And I can't let you go [Verse 2] I know the route that you always take Past the butcher and the corner gate I stand where the varnish peels And I watch you pass again Your mother waves from the upstairs glass I duck my head and bite my lip I heard you say you like the roses So I left one on your step [Pre-Chorus] I wait where you turn I count every door Don't look too hard You might see me more [Chorus] My blue cardigan boy My blue cardigan boy You never call my name But I keep on calling yours My blue cardigan boy My blue cardigan boy I'm too close for my own good And I can't let you go [Bridge] If I could be the girl you choose I'd stand still and behave But every little thing you do Pulls me closer through the day The street keeps telling me your shape The windows keep your light I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong Still I want you in my sight [Chorus] My blue cardigan boy My blue cardigan boy You never call my name But I keep on calling yours My blue cardigan boy My blue cardigan boy I'm too close for my own good And I can't let you go
