Caught In The Crowd Lyrics - Singles - Kate Miller-heidke

There was a guy at my school when I was in high school 

We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles 

Never even spoken or faced each other 

But on the last hill we'd race each other 

When we reached the racks, we'd each go our own way 

I wasn't in his classes, I didn't know his name 

When we finally got to speak, he just stared at his feet 

And mumbled a sentence that ended with James 

I was young and caught in the crowd 

I didn't know then what I know now 

I was dumb and I was proud and I'm sorry 

If I could go back, do it again 

I'd be someone you could call friend 

Please, please believe that I'm sorry

Well, he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet 

When the kids called him weird, he didn't try to deny it 

Every lunchtime he'd spend walking by himself 

'Round the boundary of the grounds 'til he heard the bell 

Well, one day I found him, joined him on his walk 

We were silent for a while until we started to talk 

I told him my family were fighting in court 

He said his step-dad and him always fought 

We talked about music, he was into punk 

Told me all the bands that I liked were junk 

I said I'd never heard the songs the Sex Pistols sang 

I laughed back at him and then the bell rang 

I was young and caught in the crowd 

I didn't know then what I know now 

I was dumb and I was proud and I'm sorry 

If I could go back, do it again 

I'd be someone you could call friend 

Please, please believe that I'm sorry

It was after school in the afternoon 

The corridors were crowded as we came out of the rooms 

Three guys I knew pushed him into the cement 

Threw away his bag and said he had no friends 

He yelled that he did and he looked around 

Tried getting up but they pushed him on down 

That's when he saw me, called out my name 

And I turned my back and just walked away 

Yeah, I turned my back and just walked away 

I was young and caught in the crowd 

I didn't know then what I know now 

I was dumb and I was proud and I'm sorry 

If I could go back, do it again 

I'd be someone you could call friend 

Please, please believe that I'm sorry 

Please, please believe that I'm sorry
