Lyrics for Textbook Love as interpreted by wonderfulmetropolis

Textbook Love Lyrics
I was in the classroom after school,
Working on the chalkboard once again.
You were in your uniform,
Standing by the door,
When I saw you,
Saw you there.

You were wondering if I'd walk you home
Even though I lived on the opposite side,
I said sure I don't need to home soon anyway,
Anyway.

Oh textbook love,
Textbook love,
Hold my little hand baby.

I started to wear my dad's cologne,
Started combin my hair to the side,
Anything I could do,
Just to keep your attention on me.

But I was just a phantom passin by,
When you were on the track home with you friends.
I was nobody at all,
I just needed an answer baby.

Textbook love,
Textbook love,
Hold my little hand baby.

Textbook Love.
You were the little girl,
I was dreamin' of.
Hold my little hand baby.

Never will I know what you saw in me,
Surely knew exactly what I saw in you.
Thinking back now,
I'm sure that was the only attraction.

Textbook love,
with a textbook style.
Textbook girl,
With a textbook smile.
Textbook love,
When I was on my way to redemption.

Textbook love,
Textbook love,
Hold my little hand baby.

Textbook Love.
You were the little girl,
I was dreamin' of.
Hold my little hand baby.

Lord it's a shame I know,
Thinking of how it could go.
Hold my little hand baby.
[X2]

I would just like to know where this song can be found, myself. It's not on Sun Giant or Fleet Foxes, and I can find no other material of theirs anywhere! Anyone care to help?

This is very easy to interpret, many Fleet Foxes songs aren't.

This is sooooo different to the rest of their stuff, but I love it just as much. It's pretty straight forward.

yeah their EP definitely sounds different than the rest of their stuff, it sounds more alternative rock than folk. I myself fucking love it, can't get enough of it, it's insane amazing alternative rock. I love this song so much, I've never heard this side of Fleet Foxes before.
