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...
