Sam Tsui - Back To School

Last year was tough again she'd never been

Any good at blending in

By now she's used to the way they stare

The girl who don't belong anywhere

Hair falling to her knees

As she read 'bout wolves and wizardry

But she's been wondering since the sixth grade

What it'd be like if people could change

And maybe this year

She'll walk through the doors and they'll all cheer

Eyes off the floor she'll have no fear

When she goes back to school she'll be so much better

And maybe as soon as September

Nobody will even remember

How they could be so cruel

When she goes

Back back back back back

Back back back back back

When she goes back

When she goes when she goes back to school

I sleep through the summer nights

As she writes out stories in the kitchen light

The hero trapped in the tower

She counts the days and the hours

Musta dread walking down the hall

Every fall just wishing she could be so small

Her dad say Honey you're just shy

And he thinks if she could just try

And maybe this year

She'll walk through the doors and they'll all cheer

Eyes off the floor she'll have no fear

When she goes back to school she'll be so much better

And maybe as soon as September

Nobody will even remember

How they could be so cruel

When she goes

Back back back back back

Back back back back back

When she goes back

When she goes when she goes back to school

When she goes

Back back back back back

Back back back back back

When she goes back

When she goes when she goes back to school

Head smiling in a yearbook

What do they see when they look

At her face

And she wakes every morning

Wondering if it's the one she finally

Finds a place

And maybe this year

She'll walk through the doors and they'll all cheer

Eyes off the floor she'll have no fear

When she goes back to school she'll be so much better

And maybe as soon as September

Nobody will even remember

How they could be so cruel

When she goes

Back back back back back

Back back back back back

When she goes back

When she goes when she goes back to school

When she goes

Back back back back back

Back back back back back

When she goes back

When she goes when she goes back to sch
