See Emily Play - Gentle Persuasion

He walks into a room as if he hopes that no one noticed
And I'm sitting in the corner and I'm struggling to focus
And I'm saying all these things and feeling like I'm still at school
I forget the names and places, dude, I'm crushing over you
I thought I was okay, but then someone changed the lighting
And now all I see is you, my friend, it's really kind of frightening
And if we've been on this planet since 1992
You'd think we'd worked it out by now
That we'd know what to do, but
I thought I was doing just fine, just fine
Patiently distracting myself while I wait in the line, but
I'm so strung out on all you are
It's the greatest love story that doesn't have a start
And often it'll happen that I won't know what to say
A furtive glance, a second chance, I'm frittering away
I often think I've lost him on any such occasion
But he reads a lot of Austen and he needs some more Persuasion
But he doesn't think I'm up to it or that he's got the time
So I'm left with the memory of his face pressed against mine
And the smell of his clothes
And his hands in my hair
And the beat of his heart
I thought I was doing just fine, just fine
Patiently distracting myself from the fact he knows the next line, but
I'd do anything to be in that car
It's the greatest love story that doesn't have a start
Doesn't have a start
Doesn't have a start
And I never did understand art
