In a Little While

I met a girl, she worked at Starbucks
She had a tattoo drove, drove a pickup truck
She had a passion for Belle and Sebastian
So I wore one of their shirts to work.

And she said "hey, I like that band"
And I said "yeah, I like them too"
Maybe we could go out? Yeah, would that be cool?

In a little while, you will lose your head
In a little while, you’ll think of what you wished you’d said
In a little while, you will feel the same
But she never called back, ‘coz you never even got her name.

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

She went to college, studied art history
Followed her there, majored general studies
Read Fran and Zoey, screwed to David Bowie
For a couple of years it worked.

But she took her toe ring off
Yeah, transferred to pre-law
Said that we were over, at the end of Fall.

In a little while, you will lose your head
In a little while, you’ll think of everything you said
In a little while, you will feel the same
But she never called and you never will forget her name.

Is the world so damn cold that every good thing should end?
You’re a liberal at 18, a realist at 20
Or does it all come down to money, yeah?

In a little while, you will lose your head
In a little while, you’ll think of everything she said
In a little while, you will feel the same
But she never called back and you never will forget her name.

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah...
