about

This song is possibly the most personal track on the album. I wrote it about someone I really fell head over heels for.

lyrics

Call out my name but it's your voice I heard
Can't be thinking "is it right? Is it wrong?"
I'm only on feeling and sinking on this thing
Don't know what to do - I'm falling for you head over heels
And this can't be good
I fantasize about what it'd be like if you'd just belong to me
I sit here close waiting for you just to notice me
I've noticed you but I don't know what to do
I know you won't love me the way I love you

So I won't talk about you
Won't even think about you
Gotta forget about you
You're off limits
Walk around like I
Don't even know you exist
But I know your first name
But I can't be with you
This sucks... why does love have to
Be so lame?

I won't talk about it
Won't even think about it
Gotta forget about it
It's forbidden

It's forbidden

I wish I wasn't so damn shy
And I wish I could look you in the eyes
And you'd realize
We've got so many similarities
I love your music and fashion
And if that ain't enough then
I'd be anything you want
I'd be anything you need
I fantasize about what it'd be like if you'd just belong to me
I sit here close waiting for you just to notice me
I've noticed you but I don't know what to do
I know you won't love me the way I love you

So I won't talk about you
Won't even think about you
Gotta forget about you
You're off limits
Walk around like I
Don't even know you exist
But I know your first name
But I can't be with you
This sucks... why does love have to
Be so lame?

I won't talk about it
Won't even think about it
Gotta forget about it
It's forbidden

It's forbidden

So I won't talk about you
Won't even think about you
Gotta forget about you
You're off limits
Walk around like I
Don't even know you exist
But I know your first name
But I can't be with you
This sucks... why does love have to
Be so lame?

So I won't talk about you
Won't even think about you
Gotta forget about you
You're off limits
Walk around like I
Don't even know you exist
But I know your first name
But I can't be with you
This sucks... why does love have to
Be so lame?

I won't talk about it
Won't even think about it
Gotta forget about it
It's forbidden

It's forbidden

So I won't talk about you
Won't even think about you
Gotta forget about you
You're off limits
Walk around like I
Don't even know you exist
But I know your first name
But I can't be with you
This sucks... why does love have to
Be so lame?

I won't talk about it
Won't even think about it
Gotta forget about it
It's forbidden

It's forbidden
