[Verse 1]
Phillip sits two rows ahead
In my mind
His name is said
Hair like sunshine
Smile so wide
But his heart's not mine
Can't confide
[Chorus]
Oh Phillip can't you see
You're the world I'll never be
In your eyes
I dare to dream
But it's not as real as it seems
[Verse 2]
Recess comes and I just hide
Watching you from the swings outside
Your laughter echoes
Fills the air
But she's the one who gets to stare
[Chorus]
Oh Phillip can't you see
You're the world I'll never be
In your eyes
I dare to dream
But it's not as real as it seems
[Bridge]
I know it’s silly
I’m just a kid
But something tells me you’d understand if I did
If I said hello or smiled your way
Maybe my lonely heart could sway
[Verse 3]
But fifth grade's rules are cruel and tight
In my notebook
I’ll write tonight
About a boy who won’t ever know
The love my silly heart let show
