At The Library
Green Day · The Studio Albums 1990-2009 [2012]
Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you.
My chance is looking a bit grey
Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time
What is that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me go so insane
That makes me feel so much pain
What is it about you that I adore?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well it happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday.
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you.
My chance is looking a bit grey
Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time
What is that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me go so insane
That makes me feel so much pain
What is it about you that I adore?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well it happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday.
At The Library - Green Day
Released on Green Day's 2012 compilation album, 'At The Library' stands as a quintessential example of the band's punk rock energy. The track features the signature guitar riffs and driving rhythm that defined their career, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s. While often associated with the themes explored in albums like 'American Idiot', this recording captures the raw, rebellious spirit of Green Day's catalog. It serves as a reminder of the band's enduring influence on alternative rock and their ability to distill complex social commentary into catchy, high-energy anthems that resonate with fans across generations.
