I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not around
And i'm [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 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
