Close to the Front

[Verse 1]
Only paid attention in your lessons
I sat close at the front so I could see
Your enthusiastic demonstrations
Teaching to a class of only me
And I couldn't speak directly to you (To you)
Without stuttering or turning red
So looking back, I don't know how I handled it, yeah
A futile frustration in my head

[Chorus]
I can't help but analyse your actions
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time

[Verse 2]
Hated it when I saw them together (Yeah, yeah)
I sat around waiting for shit to end
Unconsciously, I tried to sabotage it (I tried to sabotage it)
To get revenge on my best friend
Because I was in love with him before her (I got there first, yeah)
I had just cause to grieve (Oh, oh, yeah)
So not long after she broke up with him
I got my closure on New Year's Eve

[Chorus]
I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time (In time)
I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time (In time)

[Verse 3]
I love all the bickering and insults (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when I shout at you and you smile
Making coffee while my mind spills over
How I catch your eye once in a while
Shouldn't I have grown a little wiser? (A little wiser)
Why haven't I learned my lesson yet? (Lesson yet)
And although I have made my love progressions
I tend to learn as much as I forget

[Chorus]
I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time (In time)
I can't help but analyse your actions (Actions)
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time, yeah
I can't help but analyse your actions
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time
