BETWEEN CLASSES [Verse 1] I saw you by the lockers Tuesday afternoon Blue backpack on your shoulder And a faded pair of shoes You laughed with your friends I looked the other way Pretended I was searching For a book I didn’t need that day [Pre-Chorus] And every time the bell rings I know where you’re gonna be Funny how a crowded hallway Can feel so empty without you next to me [Chorus] I see you between classes Walking down the hall I don’t know your story But I wanna know it all Maybe it’s the way you smile Maybe it’s your eyes But every time you pass me I forget what I’m supposed to say Oh, I wish I could say “Hey, what’s your name?” But I keep walking by Like I’m scared of the game [Verse 2] You sit three rows ahead of me By the window in the class I write your name inside my notebook Then I quickly scratch it back Teacher’s talking ‘bout tomorrow I’m somewhere miles away Wondering if you noticed That I looked at you today [Pre-Chorus] And when you turn around I suddenly look down Like the floor’s the most interesting thing I’ve ever found [Chorus] I see you between classes Walking down the hall I don’t know your story But I wanna know it all Maybe it’s the way you smile Maybe it’s your eyes But every time you pass me I forget what I’m supposed to say Oh, I wish I could say “Hey, what’s your name?” But I keep walking by Like I’m scared of the game [Bridge] Maybe Friday after school I’ll finally find the nerve Maybe I’ll stop pretending That I don’t care where you go Maybe I’ll say hello Maybe you’ll say hello Maybe this little hallway crush Could become something I don’t know [Final Chorus] I see you between classes Like a movie in my head Same old school, same old hallway But everything feels different instead Maybe it’s the way you smile Maybe it’s your eyes Maybe I’m just seventeen And falling for you for the first time So tomorrow when the bell rings I swear I’m gonna try I’ll walk up beside you And finally say hi [Outro] You were just a girl in class Just somebody passing by Now you’re the reason I look forward to school sometimes.
