And I Was a Boy from School Lyrics by Tears for Fears

Ready Boy & Girls? (EP)

2014

And I was a boy from school
Helplessly helping all the rules
And there was a boy at school
Hopelessly wrestling all his fools
And there was a girl at school
Blaming all the words she learned from home
Nothing would keep her a child
Long hours don't you know we try
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
Now I meet you on the street
Harmlessly breaking rules we meet
Lives are found and love's are lost
Say goodbye to nothing everything caused
Now I find you on the street
Breaking rules hopelessly we meet
Lives are found but love's are lost
Say goodbye to everything, nothing caused
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back
I got I got lost
You said this was the way back
I got I got lost
You said this was the way back
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
