Streetlight Manifesto Kristina She Don't Know I Exist lyrics

Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from far so away
But every time she passed me by
I turned my head away and quietly sighed

And when she walked by her hair would dance
A secret tango that only I could understand
And when she'd ask me for the time of day
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say

Oh Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am?
So listen up 'cause I'll tell ya once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can, whoa

Kristina, Kristina
You don't know me so ill have to persist
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why
Kristina she don't know I exist

From class to class, I followed her
But I swore id leave her undisturbed
And if she'd ever stopped and turned around
I'd get so nervous that I'd stare at the ground

And then one day in photography
I found a contact print that I could not believe
And there she was staring back at me
So I took her home so quietly

Oh Kristina, Kristina

Do you have any clue who I am?
So listen up 'cause I'll tell ya once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can

Kristina, Kristina
You don't know me so I'll have to persist
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why
Kristina she don't know I exist

1 17 98
Has been a day that I've come to hate
As I walked into the video store
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor

Tapping her toe and waiting in line
With a movie and another guy
Why did I bother? Why did I care
About this girl named Kristina Behr?

Kristina, Kristina
You'll never get to know who I am
This is goodbye so please don't cry
And I'll let you down as softly as I can

Kristina, Kristina
Another name to cross off my list
Another life, it could've been nice
But Kristina, she won't know what she missed
