and i&#8217;m thinking hey i know that song<\/p>\n<p>then they start singing, and it&#8217;s a song that relatively few people know about so i was amazed that they knew it<\/p>\n<p>and i felt like letting loose and singing, but i was short on sleep and i couldn&#8217;t remember the lyrics properly<\/p>\n<p>so i just start singing to myself instead of going loud, but the people around me were looking at me like the fool that i am<\/p>\n<p>but then unfortunately i had to get off the streetcar because my lab was about to start and my stop was there<\/p>\n<p>i wish i didn&#8217;t have the lab then, i&#8217;d gladly cut about any other class to join a bunch of chinese young adults with a guitar<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>lobo &#8211;
