Somebody Else
I stand awkwardly by the door, your gaze rests upon me and I’m unsure If the look in your eyes is interest or simply good manners I work up the nerve to make small talk, your electric and we like the same songs And all of the time I want to take your hand in mine, but I cant But if I was someone else I’d ask to see you again Be coy and twirl my hair in my fingers Casually brush my hand against your arm and return your effortless charm And if I was someone else I would never feel the doubt creep in, I’d be sure of myself, no need to pretend He makes me laugh, and says my eyes are beautiful Flirting is breathing for you And I know that he is the kind of guy that can make even the most wilted flowers bloom, but the distance between who I am and what he wants is clear If only I was someone else I’d ask to see you again Be coy and twirl my hair in my fingers Casually brush my hand against your arm and return your effortless charm And if I was someone else I would never feel the doubt
