When She Asks

I only know your name
it's superficial and sad
and I'll take the blame
I don't know if you know who I am but I'm hoping

do you ever see
a boy far away who can't smile
well that's probably me
I try to say hello but I can't stop shaking

I sit by myself and I hope you're alone
it's all I can do not to follow you home
so what am I supposed to say when she asks
who's jenny

as far as I can tell
you've got some good friends in your life
and you're living it well
I've got nothing to add and I might as well face it

I know I'm lucky too
don't deserve this remorse
for things I wouldn't do
I try to focus my mind but the energy's wasted

I sit by my window and wait for a sign
if only a thought in the back of your mind
but you don't even look my way when you pass
do you jenny

I keep to myself but I talk in my sleep
the person who listens is so good to me
so what am I supposed to do when she asks
who's jenny

if I could tell you everything
if I could conjure up some words to say
if I knew you were waiting
would I stay silent for just one more day
and would it be too late
