Caught In The Crowd

There was a guy at my school

We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles

Never even spoken or faced each other

When we reached the racks we'd each go our own way

I wasn't in his classes

When we finally got to speak he just stared at his feet

And mumbled a sentence that ended with'James'

If I could go back do it again

Well he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet
