See Inside
I can see inside your backpack.
What I've told them,
I can't take back; they know
I've liked you for a while now.
I wonder if you know
That I'm walking behind you.
Your bag is kind of see-through,
The kind you might have
If you're cool.
I talk to you sometimes.
I wish that you'd say more.
Nobody understands
What I'm crushing on you for.
Across the classroom,
I sit...and stare;
There's got to be something
You're dying to share.
You're walking down
The hallway, Jack.
I see inside
Your green backpack.
I wish there was a diary
Inside your bag
For me to see.
Would you ever say the first word?
Do you even
Want to be heard?
I didn't understand you, Jack.
I can see inside your backpack.
Perhaps there's nothing there at all;
Maybe I just like to fall.
I can see inside your backpack,
Jack --it's empty.
