and i was walking through the hall the same hall that i walk through every day but i saw it was something different than what i knew i knew it was all so simple when i was with you with you. it was all so simple and i won't forget. in my bowling shoes size eleven, and much too thin they echo through the box of the hall no architecture to see here. and i can hear my footsteps from all around and i can hear my jacket, swaying around so i stand up tall and proud i know you're not looking but i don't give a damn i turned right down the hall past the office thats allways busy to me i think god damn! what a big school. i can't believe theres no one here that i think is cool. and why are the people i care about. so far away and so shut out. and why the hell did i get in this place. and... i keep walking down the hall with intention with nothing at all i turn left. i go east and i see the same girl. who always stares back at me. and for just just a second. i think damn i should say something hey i should say somehting but instead. i walk on buy. so self concious and full of pride. and this goes on like every day and i see that i...i think i could say a few words to her maybe "whats your name" but i cant get past my own poor brain. thats too bad chris i feel you bro life hurts man you really should do soemthing get a job 9 to 5 sex lies videotape the american dream another youth dead before the age of 21.
