Lyrics to Knapsack

He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door



It was a bookstore where i'd never been before



I wasn't looking for anything more than a book



But i looked, isn't that what eyes are for



Studied biographies, i checked out the magazines



My mind kept leading me back to his face



I'd seen something about him that made me feel 17



Stop, so i'm not, isn't that what minds are for



Now every day i can't wait to see him



I'm gonna ask his name



But every day i hand him my bag and



Everything remains the same



He took my knapsack and his fingers brushed my wrist



Gave me a number but it wasn't even his



I crossed another novel off of my reading list



Wished to be kissed isn't that what lips are for



Thinking about him when i'm on my way to work



All these men in suits they look too perfect



And i want to tell him i'm not just some soulless jerk



Hey, i got a band i understand what life is for



Now every day i can't wait to see him



I'm gonna ask his name



But every day i hand him my bag and



Everything remains the same



He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door



Wanted to tell him that i can't see him anymore



Got a new job in a different part of town



Fired and rehired isn't that what work is for



He smiled right at me but i couldn't meet his eye



All i could look at was the palm tree on his tie



I'll think about him when i go to bed at night



Deep in my sleep isn't that what dreams are for



He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door



He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door



He took my knapsack
