Those years ago, if only then,
I'd known what I know now.
My days at school weren't all that bad,
At least they taught me how
To smoke, and how to handle girls,
Such lessons valued late.
All human life is there, they say,
Behind the old school gate.

Our soccer team at school was poor,
When I played in the goal.
Opposing strikers found our net,
As big as some black hole.

Then came the day when we scored one,
We swapped high fives too soon.
The problem was, the other team
Scored ten that afternoon.

You meet, you fall in love,
Love fits, just like a glove.

You hope, you wish, you pray,
Your lonely's gone away.

Soon reach a loving high,
But laugh, quick turns to cry.

Mistrust and doubt and then,
Your lonely's back again.
