And I Was A Boy From School
Hot Chip
The Warning (2006)

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
Blending all the words she learned from home
Nothing could keep her a child
Long hours though you know we try

[Chorus - Repeat 2x]
We tried, but we didn't have long
We tried, but we don't belong

Now I met you on the street
Heartlessly breaking rules we meet
Lives are found but loves are lost
Say goodbye to nothing everything caused

Now I find you on the street
Breaking rules hopelessly we meet
Lives are found but loves are lost
Say goodbye to everything nothing caused

We tried, but we didn't have long
We tried, but we don't belong

I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back

We tried, but we didn't have long
We tried, but we don't belong
