On the other side of town there's a girl I know
She's always flowing on the tides of the wind
And she doesn't know me yet
We aren't strangers, we're friends yet to meet
I got to see her at school today, she wouldn't know my name
And that's alright, it's alright
'Cause one day I'm gonna make it real
Gonna walk right up to her and tell her how I feel
The fact is all I want from this is her eye contact
'Cause when she does (It's alright)
When she does (It's alright, it's alright)
When she does, I don't know
I never know
Smack bang in the middle of May
Today seems like a better day
It was a fresher day, so I slipped into a sweater
And I was on my way
Where to? I don't know until I reach my destination
Enjoying the air, I spotted her there at the cafe
I was halfway through the blur, doused in her liquor
When I thought I should leave it for another day
When I know what to say (It's alright)
When I know what to say (It's alright, it's alright)
When I know, I don't know
I never know
On the other side of town I heard some chatter
They said that it must've been a battery to take the blame
Not even the neighbours saw the flame
There was a flicker of light
She closed her eyes
The quiet choke as the smoke took it's prize
The fire got inside her and melted her heart before me
