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.
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
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time
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?
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time
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.
the story of my life ladies and gentlemen. thinking of that hot girl across the room but when you try to get up just like bricks in your pockets and your superglued to your seat.
Billie Joe is so cute!! I really like this song. I know we've all felt like this before...you see somone that you really want to talk to but don't have the nerve.
how true
lol... this is the story of my life... other songs of this sort Bigwig - the girl in the green jacket Green Day - Only of you
and many more... lol...
this song is just so great, ive done the same thing, thinking that this girl is so good looking and that they r so cool and wanna talk to them but i aint got the guts.
this is sucha great song. green day is the best band, and billie joe is so sexy!
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.
wat a good song. its so true what you're all saying. green day are such good musicians.
X peace X
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.
