Boy From School (Erol Alkan's extended re-work) Lyrics

And I was a boy from school
Helplessly helping all the rules
And there was a boy at school
Hopelessly wrestling all his fools
And there was a girl at school
Blaming all the words she learns from home
Nothing could keep her a child
Long hours don't give though we try

We tried but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We tried but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong.

Now I met you on the street
Heartlessly breaking rules we meet
Lives are found and love's are lost
Say goodbye to nothing everything caused
Now I find you on the street
Breaking rules, hopelessly we meet
Lives are found and love's are lost
Say goodbye to everything, nothing caused
We tried but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We tried but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back

We tried but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We tried but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
