I Stole This Apple Off the Teachers Desk Just For You

This swing set and see-saw romance
Is gonna make these playground emotions hard to forget
But i never speak a word, inside the classroom
'Cause I'm afraid what the boys would say if they knew that i loved you

And that i always run slower
When your the one chasin' me
Cause i want more than anything
For you to catch up and kiss me

I blush just a little, 
but not cause i mind
It's just that i want you to catch me
all of the time...

So yeah, a few years down the road
I'll invite you back up to our old school
And out beneath the beaming playground lights
I'll kiss you... and i won't be ashamed

But as for now,
I'll scribble little tiny hearts around your name
On the the cover of my notebook and on every page
But if its all the same to you
I'll tear out all the pages when my friends come back
C-C-Cause I'm scared of what they'd say, 
If they knew of all the games that we play

So tonight i think ill crawl right into bed
And meet you at that swing set in my head
'Cause thats the place where i like to see you most
And I'll try holding you close.....
