When I heard the knock on the door
   I couldn't catch my breath
   Is it too late to call this off
  
   We could slip away, wouldn't that be better
   Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater
  
   I tried my best to hide
   In a crowded room, it's nearly possible
   I wait for you, oh, most patiently
  
   So I looked for your eyes
   And the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them
   I'll try hard, I'll try always
   But it's a waste of time
   It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily
   Like in the beginning
   In the beginning...
