Lyrics
[verse]
He walks the halls and doesn't know I'm alive,
I'm just a girl he passes at a quarter past five.
I write his name in circles on my notebook page,
Wishing I could catch his eye, wishing I were his age.
[chorus]
I was born too late for someone born too soon,
Missed his heart like missing out on June.
Someday he'll notice, someday he will see,
But for now I'm just a shadow he don't see.
[verse]
The other girls all seem to know just what to say,
I just stand there tongue-tied every single day.
Maybe when I'm older, maybe when I'm grown,
He'll look my way and finally I won't feel alone.
[chorus]
I was born too late for someone born too soon,
Missed his heart like missing out on June.
Someday he'll notice, someday he will see,
But for now I'm just a shadow he don't see.
[bridge]
Harmonies are rising like a schoolyard prayer,
Wishing on the birthday candles in the air.
Maybe time will fix it, maybe time is kind,
Maybe he'll come looking for the love he left behind.
[chorus]
I was born too late for someone born too soon,
Missed his heart like missing out on June.
Someday he'll notice, someday he will see,
But for now I'm just a shadow he don't see.
