But will it be this way forever?

What if he could be the one that gets her?
She looks away, she's petrified.
′Now, have you thought about retail?'
'Oh and I can see here that you have a degree′
′Yes,' says Pete, ′in International Relations.'
Let's see if Primark has space for a placement.′
Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed
Impolite customers thrusting
Into her palms, she thinks,
There ain't no harm in being civil though, Is there?
He folds up his job form,
The next person sits down with a similar air Of dejection
He walks out, heads in the direction
Of the cafe' on the corner
For a coffee and some headroom.
Can′t think what to say, he just stares blankly Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon, And as he leaves the cafe' he′s consumed With thoughts of her,
Wishing that he'd got up the guts To try and talk to her.
Will it be this way forever?
What if she could be the one that makes it better? He looks away, can′t hold her gaze.
And will it be this way forever?

It′s Becky's mate's birthday They′re out for the night
Now, Becky′s mate is the nightmare type, She'll flirt with anyone
Scream at the top of her voice,
But it′s her birthday so Becky
Don't really have a choice.
He doesn′t know what to do
She's more beautiful than he remembers Then she says,
And he tries to say something funny
And now he feels like a muppet and blushes.
Inside it's the usual scene,
They′re dancing at the bar, waiting to get served Becky′s mate's screaming about something absurd And they′re all fake laughing.
Even though nobody heard a word.
So now he's hunting around the room, Staring into every booth
The back of every head could be hers It′s no use.
He stops by the bar, thinking
And then he realises that he′s standing beside her.
But will it be this way forever?
