Out of My League by Kelsey Gallant Lyrics
She sat at a distance, her eyes on the crowd
Saw him at the center, joking around
She was book-smart and quiet, nerdy and shy
He was the school’s most popular guy
She knew he was friendly to whoever he met
He’d carried her books once, she’d never forget
But he was so social, and she was so not
She shook her head, turned away, and thought:
“He’s out of my league
He’ll never likе me
‘Cause he’s so popular and cool and all I do is study
I’vе talked to him twice
Man, he’s really nice
But he’s got a thousand friends already
I go unnoticed, I drift invisibly
He would never in a million years be attracted to me.”
Well, he went to the library and peered through the shelves
She had her nose in a book and was all by herself
She was top of the class, she had it all made
He was the guy who’d repeated a grade
She looked up and saw him, his heart started to pound
He mumbled her name and stared at the ground
Heat rushed to his face, and he bolted off
Chastising himself as he thought:
“She’s out of my league
She’ll never like me
‘Cause she’s so smart and motivated and I’m just a dummy
Talked to her three times
Got ‘em each memorized
But there’s no way I’m anything in her eyes
I’ve got a hundred girls pining after me, but not she
She would never in a million years be attracted to me.”
She stared after him in a daze
She couldn't believe he'd remembered her name
She couldn't believe he'd reacted that way
And that interaction made her want to be brave
He heard footsteps, he turned and he stared
She'd followed him, she was standing right there
She looked excited, determined, and hopeful, yet scared
And at that exact moment he realized she cared
They shared a shy smile
Their faces were red
But they both had wide grins as they said
"Thought you were out of my league
Thought you'd never like me
So I hid how I felt, I didn’t want you to see
I only saw my flaws
I never saw what you saw
But you were a star in my eyes all along
If we’d both kept hiding I never would have believed
That somehow you were always attracted to me
I still find it amazing to learn that you always liked me
When all this time I thought you were out of my league”
