At the Library Lyrics

Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you
My chance is looking a bit grey

Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time

What is it that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me go so insane
That makes me feel so much pain
What is it about you that I adore?

Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time

Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well it happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday.

This is just a really funny song, in a way. Haven't you ever looked at someone across the room and just gone to yourself, "That guy (or girl) is so cute? She (he) looks like someone I'd like to know." And yet you don't go up to them and then you totally regret it. It's just funny that way.

I have actually had this song help me out a little, I had this song on my AIM profile, and this one girl I like saw it, and thought it was kinda sweet, and since I liked music like that, she thought I was sweet, and she was the girl I related the song to.

I agree with all of you, Green day is AMAZING! and yep I think we all have been in a similar situation, watching someone that you like and you want to go and talk to them, but you don't have enough courage... so before you know, this person is gone, and you'd wished you had been more brave to go on, and talk.
