Sophie

I've been staring at the wall for about an hour Thinking about a pretty girl living down the street Curly, bouncy red hair down to her shoulders I'm gonna try and find a way for us to meet Is there something I can do that will impress her? My mind is racing and it all feels like a game So many questions but I don't yet have the answers And then I hear her name Sophie, won't you come and talk to me? I only see you everyday Honey, can't you see? That I'm not just another guy trying to catch your eye If you come over, I'll tell you why I'm alone with the rain pouring down from the gutter (Oh-oh) I'm trying to find the right words but I can't 'cause I'll st-stutter (Oh-oh) I first saw you there on picture day Looking cute as hell as you looked my way Then I finally built the nerve to ask you out But you said no and I still scream and shout singing Sophie, won't you come and talk to me? I only see you everyday Honey, can't you see? That I'm not just another guy trying to catch your eye If you come over, I'll tell you why You look so beautiful in your killer black skirt and your knee socks girl Sophie, don't you go walk out on me I've got nothing left to lose, just you wait and see Why did you have to go and never speak to me again? All that I wanted to know was if you were looking for someone back then It's the month of February, and your birthday's on the 10th I'm wondering if you're married Please tell me that this isn't the end Sophie wouldn't come and talk to me I only saw her everyday, but she couldn't see That I wasn't just another guy trying to catch her eye She didn't care how I felt inside She was so beautiful Will I ever find another like her in the world? Graduation, Class of '17 I never saw her again, and that's the end of the story
