I saw this girl,
Just the other day.
I smiled at her,
She stopped and waved.
F

Don't know his name.
Gonna take a chance,
Gonna play his game.

F Oh baby, what are you doing tonight?

Went to say hi.

Quite blatantly.

I'd like to say
You brighten up my day
Like a lightbulb does to a basement.
I've thought of you
Since we both had to do
The same work experience placement.

Oh you just seem to stop me from falling.
Theres no impact with ground
Just the comforting sound
Of your voice in my ear.
Oh you and me together we're soaring.
Because when you're around
I've got no need to frown
Girl I know you'll be near.

I went with you
To our local zoo
And you took me to see the penguins.
I realised
Without you in my life
I'm like a car that has no engine.

Oh you just seem to stop me from falling.
Theres no impact with ground
Just the comforting sound
Of your voice in my ear.
Oh you and me together we're soaring.
Because when you're around
I've got no need to frown
Girl I know you'll be near.

We bought NME
And you found it funny
That I turned straight to the back page.
I found us a gig
At it we kissed
Then got kicked out cos we weren't the right age.

Oh you just seem to stop me from falling.
Theres no impact with ground
Just the comforting sound
Of your voice in my ear.
Oh you and me together we're soaring.
Because when you're around
I've got no need to frown
Girl I know you'll be near.
