The Girl I Can Never Get

I saw you there, standing all alone
You looked like you need someone too, someone to rely on
Then you talked to someone, right next to me
Suddenlt, reality hits, I'm not good enough for you.

You're the girl I can never get
There, right there, just out of my reach.
The perfect girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, straight out of a fairy tale
Right there,
Just out of reach

I talked to you online,
We were talking, just having a good time
I got your number now, now your address
Suddenly, destroyed by intruders, excuses made, lies

You're the girl I can never get
There, right there, just out of my reach.
The perfect girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, straight out of a fairy tale
Right there,
Just out of reach

So I went to the concert alone, just to have a little fun
There you were again, constantly on the run
I jumped into the mosh pit and sang with the band
And then there you were, right next to me, like a fantasy
There you were, no escaping now, I took you home
You asked me who I was, you said you'd forgotten
I said, it doesn't matter now, because you're mine, finally, at last

You're the girl I can never get
There, right there, just out of my reach.
The perfect girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, straight out of a fairy tale
Right there,
Just out of reach
(repeat)...
