I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not around And i'm strugglin with the xylophone To make these feelin's sound And I'm rememberin' you singin' and bringin' you to life It's rainin' out the window and today it looks like night
You haven't written to me in a week I'm wonderin' why that is Are you too nervous to be lovers Friendship's ruined with just one kiss? I watched you very closely, I saw you look away Your eyes are either gray or blue I'm never close enough to say
But your sweatshirt says it all With the hood over your face I can't keep starin' at your mouth Without wonderin' how it tastes I'm with another boy (he's asleep, I'm wide awake ) And he tried to win my heart But it's taken Time
I know the shape of your hands Because I watch 'em when you talk And I know the shape of your body 'Cause I watch it when you walk And I want to know it all But I'm giving you the lead So go on, go on and take it Don't fake it, shake it
Don't second-guess your feelin's You were right from the start And I notice she's your lover But she's nowhere near your heart This city is for strangers Like the sky is for the stars I think it's very dangerous If we do not take whats ours
And I'm winnin' you with words Because I have no other way I'd love to look into your face Without your eyes turnin' away Last night I watched you sing Because a person has to try And I walked home in the rain Because a person can not lie
