Lyrics

Valentine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I had to sit back, listen to poetry all day

And i tried to escape but they won't let run away

So i tried to hide but they wouldn't let me hide

So i tried to find you but i couldn't find you anywhere

And i was sitting next to you in the biology lecture

And i pretended i didn't understand just to capture your attention

And then i smiled, and then you smiled, and then i smiled,

And it was all worth my while.

All worth my while

But later on by the sofa, i wanted to kiss you, i wanted to kiss you

But i couldn't get that close, no i couldn't get that close

And when you opened your eyes, it was like

You didn't wanna see my face in your personal space

And i wanted to run away yeah, and i wanted to run away yeah

Cos i was told that you liked me, i was told that you liked me yeah

But obviously not

I was told that you liked me, i was told that you liked me yeah

But obviously not

And i once told someone, they should write some golden(?) poetry

Cause it would get them far in the music industry

It'd do them good i guess that's what i'm doing now

I'm doing good yeah, i knew i'd have to do it sometime

And i hope i get to see you on february the 14th,

Cos then i might be able to try this whole thing again some other time

Oh you can be my valentine, oh it's the time,

Will you be my valentine, valentine

But later on by the sofa, i wanted to kiss you, i wanted to kiss you

But i couldn't get that close, no i couldn't get that close

And when you opened your eyes, it was like you

Didn't wanna see my face in your personal space

And i wanted to run away yeah, i wanted to run away yeah

Cos i was told that you loved me, i was told that you liked me yeah

But obviously not

Yeah i was told that you loved me, i was told that you loved me yeah

But obviously not

Oh i'm starting to worry, that i'm sounding like the fray

Cause i hate the way they talk about sadness and life decay

But they must talk some sense, if they knew how to save a life

But i never talk sense no i haven't done this right

Well i'm starting to worry, that i'm sounding like the fray

Cause i hate the way they talk about sadness and life decay

But they must talk some sense, if they knew how to save a life

But i never talk sense no i haven't done this right

Last year on the sofa, i wanted to kiss you, i wanted to kiss you

But i couldn't get that close, no i couldn't get that close

And when you opened your eyes, it was like you

Didn't wanna see my face in your personal space

And i wanted to run away yeah, i wanted to run away

I was told that you loved me, i was told that you liked me yeah

But obviously not

Yeah i was told that you loved me, i was told that you liked me yeah

But obviously not no

No no no

Obviously not

Yeah
