YOU READ ME

DOWN BY THE EL AT THE WASH AND DRY
WE MET AND TALKED AND WONDERED WHY NEITHER ONE OF US COULD EVER QUITE FIT IN

WE TALKED OF SCHOOL AND HOME AND FAMILY
OF LIFE AND DEATH AND SUICIDE
HOW NO ONE EVER UNDERSTOOD
HOW NO ONE THOUGHT US SERIOUS AND HOW NO ONE REALLY GAVE A SHIT

I KNOW YOU LIKED ME AND I KNOW YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKED YOU BACK
WE WEREN'T ALWAYS QUITE IN SYNC BUT WE WOULD MEET THERE NOW AND THEN AND WHEN YOU WEREN'T ALWAYS THERE ~ I WAS NOWHERE 
AND FELT LIKE HALF A WHOLE

DOWN BY THE EL AT THE WASH AND DRY
WE MET AND TALKED AND WONDERED WHY
NEITHER ONE OF US COULD EVER QUITE FIT IN

I KNOW YOU LIKED ME AND I KNOW YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKED YOU BACK

YOU READ ME RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG TO THINK YOU WOULD EMPLOY ME IN YOUR QUEST FOR HAPPINESS
I JUST NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO LAUGH AND CALL ME BOY
