Sometimes I think of you when I'm all alone
I wonder what you're doing or if you're even home
I'd want to call you but I'm too afraid
Thinking you'll ignore me, I just turn and walk away
And I think to myself "love never works this way"
I'd just want to tell you but I don't know what to say

How about...

"Hey my name is nice to meet you
Can we be friends? I love that shirt you got on tonight
And I love the way it fits you right
How about coffee Friday night?"
Someday I'll work this thing out right
Then maybe someday we can get married
But... words... words... they get in the way

Get in the way

Your soft skin and your soft hair
Your eyes when they blank stare
Those little things are what I love
Your voice when you talk
And if only these thoughts could
Come out of my mouth while I'm talking to you
But I come off shy and standoffish
Probably because I'm nervous

I'd never felt like this way now before
Like you are the one that I want and adore
And I tell myself that you're too good for me
That we can't ever be...

"Hey my name is nice to meet you
Can we be friends? I love that shirt you got on tonight
And I love the way it fits you right
How about coffee Friday night?"
Someday I'll work this thing out right
Then maybe someday we can get married
But... words... words... they get in the way

I'm making this complicated
And I feel like I'm suffocating
And maybe someday
I'd come up to you and say...

"Hey my name is nice to meet you
Can we be friends? I love that shirt you got on tonight
And I love the way it fits you right
How about coffee Friday night?"
Someday I'll work this thing out right
Then maybe someday we can get married
But... words get in the way

Get in the way...
