There was a guy at my school when I was in high school |
| [00:14.02] |
We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles |
| [00:16.98] |
Never even spoken or faced each other |
| [00:19.65] |
But on the last hill we'd race each other |
| [00:22.45] |
When we reached the racks, we'd each go our own way |
| [00:24.97] |
I wasn't in his classes, I didn't know his name |
| [00:27.72] |
When we finally got to speak, he just stared at his feet |
| [00:30.82] |
And mumbled a sentence that ended with James |
| [00:39.71] |
I was young and caught in the crowd |
| [00:42.08] |
I didn't know then what I know now |
| [00:45.23] |
I was dumb and I was proud and I'm sorry |
| [00:50.77] |
If I could go back, do it again |
| [00:53.70] |
I'd be someone you could call friend |
| [00:56.57] |
Please, please believe that I'm sorry |
| [01:01.88] |
Well, he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet |
| [01:04.82] |
When the kids called him weird, he didn't try to deny it |
| [01:07.58] |
Every lunchtime he'd spend walking by himself |
| [01:10.30] |
'Round the boundary of the grounds 'til he heard the bell |
| [01:13.00] |
Well, one day I found him, joined him on his walk |
| [01:15.83] |
We were silent for a while until we started to talk |
| [01:18.54] |
I told him my family were fighting in court |
| [01:21.59] |
He said his step-dad and him always fought |
| [01:24.74] |
We talked about music, he was into punk |
| [01:27.07] |
Told me all the bands that I liked were junk |
| [01:30.04] |
I said I'd never heard the songs the Sex Pistols sang |
| [01:32.63] |
I laughed back at him and then the bell rang |
| [01:41.68] |
I was young and caught in the crowd |
| [01:44.50] |
I didn't know then what I know now |
| [01:47.36] |
I was dumb and I was proud and I'm sorry |
| [01:52.90] |
If I could go back, do it again |
| [01:55.80] |
I'd be someone you could call friend |
| [01:58.62] |
Please, please believe that I'm sorry |
| [02:15.09] |
It was after school in the afternoon |
| [02:17.61] |
The corridors were crowded as we came out of the rooms |
| [02:20.52] |
Three guys I knew pushed him into the cement |
| [02:23.89] |
Threw away his bag and said he had no friends |
| [02:26.30] |
He yelled that he did and he looked around |
| [02:28.99] |
Tried getting up but they pushed him on down |
| [02:31.95] |
That's when he saw me, called out my name |
| [02:37.36] |
And I turned my back and just walked away |
| [02:42.85] |
Yeah, I turned my back and just walked away |
| [02:49.16] |
I was young and caught in the crowd |
| [02:52.03] |
I didn't know then what I know now |
| [02:54.83] |
I was dumb and I was proud and I'm sorry |
| [03:00.53] |
If I could go back, do it again |
| [03:03.31] |
I'd be someone you could call friend |
| [03:06.13] |
Please, please believe that I'm sorry |
| [03:17.73] |
Please, please believe that I'm sorry |
