Verse 1

Malchik Avantis cuts across the schoolyard gate,

Soon as Katia steps outside, he’s running late.

Past the windows, past the gym, past classroom twenty-five,

He bolts like every bell has come alive.

Pre-Chorus

She calls his name, he turns around,

Chorus

Katia, you catch me every time I run,

Right here at School Number Twenty-Five, beneath the afternoon sun.

Everybody’s shouting, “Husband and wife!”
