Textbook Love

Robin Pecknold

[Verse 1]
I was in the classroom after school
Working on the chalkboard once again
You were in your uniform, standing by the door
When I saw you, saw you there

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You were wondering if I'd walk you home
Even though I lived on the opposite side
I said, "Sure, I don't need to be home soon anyway, anyway"

[Chorus]
Textbook love
Textbook love
Hold my little hand, baby

[Verse 2]
I started to wear my dad's cologne
Started combing my hair to the side
Anything that I could do
Just to keep your attention on me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I was just a phantom passing by
When you where on the track or with your friends
I was nobody at all
I just needed an answer, baby

[Chorus]
Textbook love
Textbook love
Hold my little hand, baby

[Post-Chorus]
Textbook love
You were the girl I was dreaming of
Hold my little hand, baby

[Bridge]
Never will I know what you saw in me
I'm sure you knew exactly what I saw in you
Thinking back now, I'm sure that was the only attraction, baby

Textbook love in the textbook style
Textbook girl with the textbook smile
Textbook love, when I was on my way to redemption, baby

[Chorus]
Textbook love
Textbook love
Hold my little hand, baby

[Post-Chorus]
Text book love
You were the girl I was dreaming of
Hold my little hand, baby

[Coda]
Lord it's a shame, I know
Thinking of how it could go
Hold my little hand, baby

Lord it's a shame, I know
Thinking of how it could go
Hold my little hand, baby
