She takes the roundabout Congestion-free route To each cla** She lowers her head Lightly treads It's attention that she dreads As boys pa** He keeps his headphones loud At lunch 'cuz he's proud Of the tune He taps his feet To the beat Hopes an inquirer fills the seat Someday soon Shouldn't take a hard look to see What she is And what she was And can be Should they ever cross paths again Will they wish They'd known the shortcut Back then? She sits where her teacher's stare Won't force her to share Her report She longs for the court It's her sport An underestimated girl Of her sort He's got his hand aloft And hopes to show off But no one cares But he's Got a plan For a band One thing he understands Girl meets boy too soon Boy meets girl too soon Too soon Should they ever cross paths again Will they wish They'd known the shortcut Back then? Shouldn't take a hard look to see What he is And what he was And can be
