Knapsack

he took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
 it was a bookstore where i'd never been before
 i wasn't looking for anything more than a book
 but i looked, isn't that what eyes are for
 studied biographies, i checked out the magazines
 my mind kept leading me back to his face
 i'd seen something about him that made me feel 17
 stop, so i'm not, isn't that what minds are for
 now every day i can't wait to see him
 i'm gonna ask his name
 but every day i hand him my bag and
 everything remains the same
 he took my knapsack and his fingers brushed my wrist
 gave me a number but it wasn't even his
 i crossed another novel off of my reading list
 wished to be kissed isn't that what lips are for
 thinking about him when i'm on my way to work
 all these men in suits they look too perfect
 and i want to tell him i'm not just some soulless jerk
 hey, i got a band i understand what life is for
 now every day i can't wait to see him
 i'm gonna ask his name
 but every day i hand him my bag and
 everything remains the same
 he took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
 wanted to tell him that i can't see him anymore
 got a new job in a different part of town
 fired and rehired isn't that what work is for
 he smiled right at me but i couldn't meet his eye
 all i could look at was the palm tree on his tie
 i'll think about him when i go to bed at night
 deep in my sleep isn't that what dreams are for
 he took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
 he took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
 he took my knapsack
