Caught in the Crowd Kate Miller-Heidke

[Verse 1]
There was a guy at my school when I was in high school
We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles
Never even spoken or faced each other
But on the last hill we'd race each other
When we reached the racks, we'd each go our own way
I wasn't in his classes, I didn't know his name
When we finally got to speak, he just stared at his feet
And mumbled a sentence that ended with James

[Chorus]
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back, do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please, please believe
That I'm sorry

[Verse 2]
Well, he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet
When the kids called him weird, he didn't try to deny it
Every lunchtime he'd spend walkin' by himself
'Round the boundary of the grounds 'til he heard the bell
Well, one day I found him, joined him on his walk
We were silent for a while until we started to talk
I told him my family were fightin' in court
He said his step-dad and him always fought
We talked about music, he was into punk
Told me all the bands that I liked were junk
I said I'd never heard the songs the Sex Pistols sang
I laughed back at him and then the bell rang
