I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race
...
Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel
Had no example of a love that was even remotely real
How can you understand something that you never had?
Ooh, baby, if you let me, I can help you out with all of that
...
When the sun is up,
on a clear blue sky,
you will act like a lover
When the sky is grey,
...
Puttin’ my defences up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack
...
There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king, I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories on the wall
I hear the song, from the places where I was born
...
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
...
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
...
Do you remember when I said I'd always be there.
Ever since we were ten, baby.
When we were out on the playground playing pretend.
Didn't know it back then.
...
Maybe it's the way she walked (wow)
straight into my heart and stole it.
Through the doors and past the guards (wow) ,
just like she already owned it.
...
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
...
