Lyrics 1997, Passing in the Hallway - Martha

1997, Passing in the Hallway

We met when we were seven
Now we’re both in year eleven and it scares me that
You act like it’s a joke
When they tell you off for smoking
It’s tearing me apart
So I just drew your name inside a heart
Maureen
School is totally boring
These GCSEs really get to me
I long for your company
And I think it’s high time
We took a walk by the riverside
We can sit near the daffodils
While we’ve got some time to kill
It’s true that I’ve been so anemic
Since you broke my double-helix and my heart
Well I might be a reject
But to tell the truth you’re scarier than a prefect
When we’re passing in the hallway
And you catch me looking your way
It’s certifiably verified
That I’m completely terrified by Maureen…
School is totally boring
These GCSEs really get to me
I long for your company
And I think it’s high time
We took a walk by the riverside
We can sit near the daffodils
While we’ve got some time to kill
It’s true that I’ve been so anemic
Since you broke my double-helix and my heart
I know you’re in detention
But I promise that I’m worthy of your attention after school
There’s a park across the street
I’d really love it if you’d meet me
We can share some pop while we revise
See algebra in each other’s eyes
I promise you I’m worth the wait
This textbook’s barely annotated
School is totally boring
These GCSEs really get to me
I long for your company
It’s high time
We took a walk by the riverside
We can sit near the daffodils
While we’ve got some time to kill
It’s true that I’ve been so anemic
Since you broke my double-helix
And the doctor gave me pills
And I told her they were nervous in my heart
