Does anyone know who produced it? And what about the lyrics?.. anyone know where they are?  
This is one of my favourite Amy songs, if not my favourite.

The Lyrics :

Only paid attention in your lessons  
I Sat close at the front so I could see  
Your enthusiastic demonstrations  
Teaching to a class of only me  
And I couldn’t speak directly to you  
Without stuttering or turning red  
So looking back I don’t know how I handled it, yeah  
Futile frustration in my head

Chorus 1x:  
I can’t help but analyze your actions,  
Neglecting mine  
Before I know I’ve fallen hard  
And now I tread water in time

Hated it when I saw them together  
I sat around waiting for shit to end  
Unconsciously I tried to sabotage it

To get revenge on my best friend  
Because I was in love with him before her  
I had just cause to grieve  
So not long after she broke up with him  
I got my closure on new years eve

Chorus 2x

I love all the bickering and insults  
And when I shout at you and you smile  
Making coffee while my mind spills over  
How I catch your art once in a while  
Shouldn’t I have grown a little wiser?  
Why haven’t I learned my lesson yet?  
And although I have made my love progresses  
I tend to learn as much as I forget

Chorus 3x

hmm I read the lyrics on another Amy forum a few months ago and it said “analyze your accent, neglecting mine”.
