A(You can) get to F♯mknow them in goEod time

When I was a kid, I used to sit at the side of the playground

And watch all the kids playin’ games and runnin all around

Then the bell would ring and we would line up—go inside

I would think I could’ve made some friends if I just tried (if I just tried)

Chorus

They say they best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago

But the second best time is right now today

Crawlin’ all out of your shell can be slow, so I know

If your try, you’ll blink and bashfulness will just wash away
