By the Way
Kef Lyrics

Ridin' down the boulevard on a midweek afternoon
I am driving on the street on a weekday afternoon.

It's a sunny day
The weather is sunny.

DJ comes on the radio, spittin' out the latest tune
I hear the DJ on the radio playing the latest song.

I wanna run away
I feel like escaping from my current situation.

Cuz I kinda miss the way it was
I feel nostalgic about the past.

When she would meet me after school
I remember when she used to meet me after school.

Until her friends saw the both of us
Our relationship ended when her friends saw us together.

And they told her I wasn't cool
Her friends said I was not cool.

And now with all the while I waste away dreamin' about back then
I spend my time dreaming about the past.

I'm gonna be late again
I am going to be late for something.

But, hey, I'm alright, by the way
Despite my troubles, I am doing okay.

And, I know that everything is gonna be okay
I believe that things will work out in the end.

Well I saw her just the other day at that place in Hollywood
I saw her recently at a place in Hollywood.

Where we used to play
It was a place where we used to spend time together.

She was talkin' to some guy looked like he just rolled out of bed
She was talking to a guy who looked disheveled.

But in a funky way
He had a unique style.

And it kinda makes me wish
I feel a sense of longing.

That I never cut off all my hair
I regret cutting off all my hair.

I could mess it up just perfect
I want my hair to look messy, but in a good way.

And she would see me standing there
I hope she notices me.

And I'd try to make believe it didn't take all day
I pretend that it didn't take me a long time to get ready.

To make it stay that way
I want my hair to stay messy.

But, now, I'm alright, by the way
Despite my regret, I am doing okay.

Now I may not be the poster boy for confident delivery
I am not the most confident person.

Or dignity
I am not always dignified.

But, In a fit of self belief, I extemporized some sympathy
I spoke with confidence and sympathy for myself.

From the maitre'd
I got sympathy from the maitre'd.

And as she locked her eyes on mine
Her gaze met mine.

All the people disappeared
I was focused only on her.

And I know that she could see my soul
I feel like she could understand me deeply.

Trembling in fear
I am nervous and scared.

And then all the past, the pain, the hate, and the anger disappeared
All the negative emotions from the past disappeared.

When she smiled at me
Her smile made me happy.

And, now, I'm alright, by the way
After seeing her again, I feel okay.

And, I know that everything is gonna be okay
I am confident that everything will be okay in the end.
