Fleet Foxes - Textbook Love lyrics

rate me

I was in the classroom after school,

Working on the chalkboard once again.

You were in your uniform,

Standing by the door,

When I saw you,

Saw you there.

You were wondering if I'd walk you home

Even though I lived on the opposite side,

I said sure I don't need to home soon anyway,

Anyway.

Oh textbook love,

Textbook love,

Hold my little hand baby.

I started to wear my dad's cologne,

Started combin my hair to the side,

Anything I could do,

Just to keep your attention on me.

But I was just a phantom passin by,

When you were on the track home with you friends.

I was nobody at all,

I just needed an answer baby.

Textbook love,

Textbook love,

Hold my little hand baby.

Textbook Love.

You were the little girl,

I was dreamin' of.

Hold my little hand baby.

Never will I know what you saw in me,

Surely knew exactly what I saw in you.

Thinking back now,

I'm sure that was the only attraction.

Textbook love,

With a textbook style.

Textbook girl,

With a textbook smile.

Textbook love,

When I was on my way to redemption.

Textbook love,

Textbook love,

Hold my little hand baby.

Textbook Love.

You were the little girl,

I was dreamin' of.

Hold my little hand baby.

Lord it's a shame I know,

Thinking of how it could go.

Hold my little hand baby.
