Close to the Front [German translation]

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

Without stuttering or turning red

So looking back I don't know how I handled it, yeah

Futile frustration in my head

[Chorus 1x:]

I can't help but analyze your actions,

Neglecting mine

Before I know I've fallen hard

And now I tread water in time

Hated it when I saw them together

I sat around waiting for shit to end

Unconsciously I tried to sabotage it

To get revenge on my best friend

Because I was in love with him before her

I had just cause to grieve

So not long after she broke up with him

I got my closure on new years eve

[Chorus 2x]

I love all the bickering and insults

And when I shout at you and you smile

Making coffee while my mind spills over

How I catch your art once in a while

Shouldn?t I have grown a little wiser?

Why haven't I learned my lesson yet?

And although I have made my love progresses

I tend to learn as much as I forget

[Chorus 3x]
