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-- friendships 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 its 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 form 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
But I think its very dangerous if we do not take what's ours

And I'm winnin' you with words because I have no other way
I want 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
