Lyrics
Barefoot on the sidewalk Headphones in to let my mind walk In my hands I’m carrying my shoes And I’m late to Philosophy 203 Won’t McTaggart be so proud of me And I don’t have any notes, just a couple pictures that I drew And my hair looks like a bird’s nest And according to my roommate I’m a little under dressed With a cutoff t-shirt and a fanny-pack I got at the zoo Cause it's a little chilly for September 2nd It’s like 45 degrees in the middle of the Midwest And I’m really reconsidering removal of my socks and my shoes Cause the wind is bitin' at my toes And the chill is nippin' at my nose And my shoulders feeling heavy 'cause my backpack straps are loose But it all feels so good when every little thing's exactly how it should be So it really made a difference when I narrowed down my vision to you And you had on a denim jacket And a crop top white t-shirt to match it And your yoga pants were popping And your sneakers you were rockin’ 'em too And your hair was up in space buns And you were killin' with the makeup And I was looking like a dumba** with my cutoff And my hands full of shoes And that’s about the time you looked up And saw me in the empty space I took up And I was feeling dumb cause you really caught me staring at you And honestly I got a little nervous I didn’t want you thinking I was doing it on purpose My eyes wander when I’m thinking I don’t know I mean it's just what they do But hey girl from the sidewalk, I wrote this one for you So If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do Hey girl from the sidewalk, I wrote this one for you If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do I wish I said something strong like "What’s up baby?" Or something funny like "Call me maybe" Or something older fashioned like "Hello missus" or "How do you do?" Or something really stupid Like "I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid" Or a simple little "Hi" My jaw just wasn't working for you And you were 'bout to walk past me And you weren't really doing anything to attract me So I didn't speak a word, I didn't even know what to say At this point like 30 seconds have past That's another 30 seconds tardy for cla** But I'm not worried about anything except for figuring out your name Now our shoulders brush past each other on the sidewalk And I notice that you're shorter than how I thought Which is good I guess cause I'm not really super tall at all anyway So I look back to see if you look back And you look back and our eyes made contact And you smiled holy sh*t, what a perfectly symmetrical face That moment felt like forever It was only us and we alone were together So believe me when I say I think the rest of campus melted away Then you turned around and left me and now I'm feeling sorta empty Cause I woulda, coulda, shoulda Figured out a little something to say But hey girl from the sidewalk, I wrote this one for you So If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do, yeah Hey girl from the sidewalk, I wrote this one for you So If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do I wish I said something strong like "What’s up baby?" Or something funny like "Call me maybe" Or something older fashioned like "Hello missus" or "How do you do?" Or something really stupid Like "I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid" Or a simple little "Hi" My jaw just wasn't working for you And in my life I haven't had many regrets But days go back with you inside my head In my life I haven't had many regrets So many things I wish I could've said I wish I said something strong like "What’s up baby?" Or something funny like "Call me maybe" Or something older fashioned like "Hello missus" or "How do you do?" Or something really stupid Like "I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid" Or a simple little "Hi" My jaw just wasn't working for you Or a simple little "Hi" But my jaw just wasn't working for you Or a simple little "Hi" My jaw just wasn't working for you
