Close to the Front

[Verse 1]

Only paid attention in your lessons

I sat close at the front so I could see

Your enthusiastic demonstrations

Teaching to a class of only me

And I couldn't speak directly to you (To you)

Without stuttering or turning red

So looking back, I don't know how I handled it, yeah

A futile frustration in my head

[Chorus]

I can't help but analyse your actions

Neglecting mine

Before I know, I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time

[Verse 2]

Hated it when I saw them together (Yeah, yeah)

I sat around waiting for shit to end

Unconsciously, I tried to sabotage it (I tried to sabotage it)

To get revenge on my best friend

Because I was in love with him before her (I got there first, yeah)

I had just cause to grieve (Oh, oh, yeah)

So not long after she broke up with him

I got my closure on New Year's Eve

[Chorus]

I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)

Neglecting mine

Before I know, I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time (In time)

I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)

Neglecting mine

Before I know, I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time (In time)

[Verse 3]

I love all the bickering and insults (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And when I shout at you and you smile

Making coffee while my mind spills over

How I catch your eye once in a while

Shouldn't I have grown a little wiser? (A little wiser)

Why haven't I learned my lesson yet? (Lesson yet)

And although I have made my love progressions

I tend to learn as much as I forget

[Chorus]

I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)

Neglecting mine

Before I know, I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time (In time)

I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)

Neglecting mine

Before I know, I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time, yeah

I can't help but analyse your actions

Neglecting mine

Before I know, I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time
