I feel so helpless now
My guitar is not around
And I´m struggling with the xylophone
To make these feelings sound
And I´m remembering you singing
And bringin´ you to life
It´s raining out the window
And today it looks like night

You haven´t written to me in a week
I´m wondering 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

(Charming
Crazy eyes have you
Are they gray or blue?
I won´t make the move
You must make the move
If you make the move
I will then approve
If you do not move
We will surely lose...)

Don´t second-guess your feelings
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
But I think it´s very dangerous
If we do not take what´s ours

And I´m winning you with words
Because I have no other way
I´d love to look into your face
Without your eyes turning away
Last night I watched you sing
Because a person has to try
And I walked home in the rain
Because a person cannot lie...
