Debut single from the casuals

lyrics

Sitting here, up on the shelf, feeling so alone.
A sad state of affairs that this is where I call my home.
I get to gaze out at the world and take in what I see,
But I’m just wondering when someone will reach up here for me.

A thousand people pass me by; happy to be together.
None of them have noticed me; I’ve waited for forever.
But as I look across the crowd – an end to my dismay!
I saw her looking over here, but then she turned away

This isn’t where I hoped I’d be… nobody sitting here next to me.

Could it be that she’s in a similar situation?
Both put off by obstacles, we lost our destination.
She doesn’t need to say a word for me to understand,
‘cause as she smiles at me, I’m happy to just hold her hand.

There’s nowhere that I’d rather be, than sitting here with you next to me.
I no longer feel all by myself, now that you’re up here with me on the shelf.
Now that you’re up here with me on the shelf.
Now that you’re up here with me on the shelf.
Now that you’re up here with me on the shelf.
