lyrics

I spot you across a crowded room, the moment so sublime
I knew from that very first moment, I needed to make you mine
You looked so very inviting, eyes of bright blue fire
And building up inside of me was a river of desire.

I caught you looking over, your gaze locked into me
And there you held that moment for seconds 1, 2, 3
My heart it skipped its rhythm, my pulse it raced away
And now I'm left with these feelings, all night and through the day.

What can I do I can't get over it
I can't make my mouth profess the words, no
Never wanted anything more but I'm just not brave enough
How can I make you see.

And as you came to talk with me, I felt my temperature rise
Sending out all the signals and talking with your eyes.
I wanted to tell you everything I wanted to say the words
But I just let you walk away, I didn't have the nerve.

What can I do, I can't get over it
I can't make my mouth profess the words, no
Never wanted anything more but I'm just not brave enough
How can I make you see.

Mind and body please stop playing tricks on me
I need to get a grip to take control
The fear inside me grows and it takes over me.
How can I make you see.
How can I make you see.
How can I make you see.
