lyrics

Why do I pretend I'm shy every time one goes by?
I know it's strange, but I always act the same, don't know why.
She was next to me, we were looking at the same music on the rack
And for half a second I caught a glance

Why did I look away?
I should've got your name
With your white coat and your red hair
If I wasn't dumb I would've stared

I asked the clerk behind the desk about a band and she said, "Funny, someone just asked about them."
And I knew that it was her, 'cause she'd just walked out the door
And for half a second I ran
But wouldn't that be creepy? Wouldn't she misunderstand?

Why did I look away?
I should've got your name
With your white coat and your red hair
If I wasn't dumb I would've stared
Why did I look away?
I should've got your name
With your white coat and your red hair
If I wasn't stupid I would've cared.
