I wake up
My shoulder's cold
I've got to leave here
Before I go
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor

[Pre-Chorus]

Then I see you
You're walking cross the campus
Cruel professor
Studying romances

How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?

Walk to class
In front of ya
Spilled kefir
On your keffiyah
You look inside
And turn to the door
Drag your feet along the floor

In the afternoon
You're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony
After class

In the afternoon
You're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony
After class

In the afternoon
You're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony
After class

In the afternoon
You're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony
After class
