When i heard the knock on the door
i couldn't catch my breath
is it too late to call this off
we could slip away, wouldn't that be better
me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater
i tried my best to hide
in a crowded room, it's nearly possible
i wait for you, oh, most patiently
so i looked for your eyes
and the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them
i'll try hard, i'll try always
but it's a waste of time
it's a waste of time if i can't smile easily
like in the beginning
in the beginning.
