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 learnt from home
Nothing would keep her a child
Long hours don't give 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 unfazed
Say goodbye to nothing everything caused
Now I need you on my street
Hopelessly breaking rules we meet
Love's unfound and love's unfazed
Say goodbye to everything, nothing caused

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

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

We try but we don't have long
We try but we don't belong
