A few weeks back I was driving home from work and heard Adele's "Hello" and The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me" back to back. Ever since then, I can't hear Adele's song without thinking she's singing from the point of view of the girl in "Don't Stand So Close to Me," who is trying to reconnect with the teacher from the song.
It's not a perfect fit, but I do get some humor out of thinking that the girl (now woman, really) is trying to get back in touch with the teacher, and maybe doesn't understand that the teacher would be reluctant to talk to the person over whom he (probably) threw away his career. No, he never did make it out of that town where nothing ever happens because he can't afford to move based on what he's making by working as Tesco. Not that it isn't his fault.
