Everyday I go to marching band

I wait for you to arrive

Not to say hi

But to just watch you walk

Then I wait for you to leave

Not to say bye

But to just watch you walk

And somewhere in between

We have full band rehearsal

And I steal a glance every once in a while

Just to see your smile

Or just to see your face is

And today, well today, I caught you

Stealing a glance at me

Me

And although you say

It was because you were reminding yourself of something funny you had said

I like to believe

It was because maybe you enjoy stealing a glance at me too

Hope is something I hold

Very close to my heart

And the sight of you looking at me

It gave me hope

And although that hope could hurt me,

In the end

I can take the pain
