At The Library

Green Day

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.
