Like A Book Left In The Rain, Erasing Before Its Eyes (That's You & I)

She is one extraordinary girl
And she hurts and breaks his world
He heard her crying out for someone to save her
But she pushed him away, saying
"No, you're not the guy I want
He's over there; see him?"
Well, he doesn't know quite what he's found
And she doesn't really know what she's turning down

Oh, and he
He's an ordinary boy
Or so he seems to everyone
Except himself, inside
He's hiding something big, but he doesn't
Actually know what he hides
A perfect kiss, on her perfect lips
The perfect thing to stop a heart's apocalypse

She left him alone again
Sometimes he gets so sick of crying
And lying that he's okay, and she doesn't have to call
Every single night. he gets to the point where
He almost feels like dying
And thinking that starts off the crying
Because she left him alone again
The extraordinary girl and the ordinary boy
Who's just trying to make himself worthy;
It's a difficult ploy.

But on the other hand, she has no idea she's such an extraordinary girl
In the eyes of the ordinary boy
She leaves him alone, so she can wipe the tears from her eyes
And pretend she was never crying
They don't see what they need is each other
Well, she doesn't see, and he won't say
What's in their hearts and minds
This ordinary boy and extraordinary girl
