up in the window, looking in
I saw you with a violin
and you played a tune you wrote yourself
when you were still in middle school
and you looked like a portrait of someone who cared
and you looked like a portrait of someone who dared

I'm not afraid of what I did, I only tried to be myself
when I looked at you, I thought to say:
"you were always someone else,"
so you looked like a portrait of someone who cared
and you looked like a portrait of someone who dared

and I would pass so many times
you thought that I was blind
and I would pass so many times
you thought that I was blind
and I would pass so many times
you thought that I was blind
and I would pass so many times before...
