And I always thought you'd be the one
Then you were gone
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool)
And it did seem then like those days would never end
Until that fateful day when you said
That your parents were moving and you'd go to another school
I flashed back to the day when I asked you
"Hey girl, do you want to fall in love?"
I had no idea you'd say "yes"
Then we turned out so strong
So we scrapped and scuffled
That was just the thing to do
To gain for ourselves
A place for me and you
That was just our own
We'd lost the battle
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool for you, you never knew)
(All along I was a fool)
Years later I see you just walkin' through the park
With your hair pulled back and I walk up say
"Hey, how are you doin' you know it's been so long"
And I want you to know that I think you
Still are the brightest star around
I keep hopin' you're not married
'Cuz girl you're far too young
I like your stripes
You wear them well
This atrophy, man
It eats me like a spell
That just don't work
Like any other
