Noah Floersch - Girl from the Sidewalk Lyrics

Barefoot on the sidewalk
Headphones in to let my mind walk
In my hands I'm carrying in my shoes

And I'm late to Philosophy 203
Won't McTaggart be so proud of me
And I don't have any notes just a couple pictures that I drew

My hair looks like a bird's nest
And according to my roommate I'm a little underdressed
With a cutoff t-shirt and a fanny-pack I got at the zoo

Cause it's a little chilly for September 2nd
It's like 45 degrees in the middle of the Midwest
And I'm really reconsidering removal of my socks and my shoes

Cause the wind is biting at my toes
And the chill is nipping at my nose
My shoulders feeling heavy cause my backpack straps are loose

But it all feels so good

When every little thing's exactly how it should be
So it really made a difference when I narrowed down my vision to you

And you had on a denim jacket
And a crop top white t-shirt to match it
And your yoga pants were popping
And your sneakers you rockin' 'em too

And your hair was up in space buns
And you were killing with the makeup
And I was looking like a dumbass with my cutoff
And my hands full of shoes

And that's about the time you looked up
And saw me in the empty space I took up
And I was feeling dumb cause you really caught me staring at you

And honestly I got a little nervous
I didn't want you thinking I was doing it on purpose
My eyes wander when I'm thinking
I don't know why, man, it's just what they do

Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do

I wish I said something strong like "What's up baby?"
Or something funny like "Call me maybe!"
Or something older fashioned like "Hello missus" or "How do you do?"

Or something really stupid
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
Or a simple little "Hi"
My jaw just wasn't working for you

And you were about to walk past me
And you weren't really doing anything to attract me
So I didn't speak a word, I didn't even know what to say

At this point like 30 seconds have past
That's another 30 seconds tardy for class
But I'm not worried about anything except for figuring out your name

Now our shoulders brush past each other on the sidewalk
And I notice you're shorter than how I thought
Which is good I guess cause I'm not really super tall at all anyway

So I look back to see if you look back
And you look back and our eyes made contact
And you smiled holy shit, what a perfectly symmetrical face

That moment felt like forever
It was only us and we alone were together
So believe me when I say I think the rest of campus melted away

Then you turned around and left me
And now I'm feeling sorta empty
Cause I woulda, coulda, shoulda figured out something to say

Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do

I wish I said something strong like "What's up baby?"
Or something funny like "Call me maybe!"
Or something older fashioned like "Hello missus" or "How do you do?"

Or something really stupid
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
Or a simple little "Hi"
My jaw just wasn't working for you

In my life I haven't had many regrets
But days go back with you inside my head
In my life I haven't had many regrets
So many things I wish I could've said

I wish I said something strong like "What's up baby?"
Or something funny like "Call me maybe!"
Or something older fashioned like "Hello missus" or "How do you do?"

Or something really stupid
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
Or a simple little "Hi."
My jaw just wasn't working for you

Or a simple little "Hi"
My jaw just wasn't working for you

Or a simple little "Hi"
My jaw just wasn't working for you
