I saw you running with your friends
I called your name too loud- "come back"
so many times that it might have been embarrassing
if you hadn't come walking back

Here's where I shook you by the shoulders
shoved you up against a truck- 'what's up'
It was a picture of someone getting older
and of someone growing up

someone growing up

It was like you were in disguise
you were so nonchalant- 'come on'
as though your well half-lidded eyes said,
'What the hell do you want?'

well I must've said something
for you to feel I was alright- 'alright'
we had a great conversation
that went on well into the night

went on well into the night
