The Books - Thoughtless Attatchment Lyrics

Ridden with obsession
Unbounded at its core
Finite at expression, embarrassment uproar
What do I know, aside from your name?
Subside from the talk, regard the disclaim
One look and I see you
Second look and you're gone again

I know how often I would try
To see you in the hallway
But tonight, I won't lie, I haven't gotten a reply
I know you tried I'm just so glad you took the time
To teach me that there's more to life
Than sitting, and waiting, and hoping that you're learning

Digging for connections
Interests that we shared
This new odd sensation
Thoughts that I can hardly bear
Halted in the hallway, hoping that we're okay
I have a lot to say to you
I was too intrusive and awkward for you

I know how often I would try
To see you in the hallway
But tonight, I won't lie, I haven't gotten a reply
I know you tried I'm just so glad you took the time
To teach me that there's more to life
Than sitting, and waiting, and hoping that you're learning

What could I have known
Aside from what you told me?
It was all my fault
I was young, dumb, and lonely
Thank you for looking past those things and trying to be friends
I am so sorry my intrigue got the best of it

I know how often I would try
To see you in the hallway
But tonight, I won't lie, I haven't gotten a reply
I know you tried I'm just so glad you took the time
To teach me that there's more to life
Than sitting, and waiting, and hoping that you're learning
