And I was a boy from school Helplessly helping all the rules And there was a boy at school Hopelessly wrestling all his fools And there was a girl at school Blaming all the words she stole from home Nothing would keep her a child Long hours don't ? though we try We try but we don't have long We try but we don't belong We try but we didn't have long We try but we didn't belong Now I meet you on the street Helplessly breaking rules we meet Life's unfound ? and love's ? Say goodbye to nothing everything caused Now I need you on my street Hopelessly breaking rules we meet Love's unfound ? and love's ? Say goodbye to everything, nothing caused
