In the red bleached building, for years on end
Sat a girl wanting a handsome guy best friend
And behind the girl, sat a skinny rough boy, with a secret heart of gold
But this girls Momma told her to look forward, only for the bright and bold
And she chased and chased, for the clean cut guy who could gift her with the magic of love
And the girl cried and cried, screaming why the love would never come
And finally one day, the boy answered her questions of despair
Asking her next time to turn around, and surely her desires of love will magically appear

When you stop chasing the wrong things, it gives the right things a chance to catch you.
