Well it's freezing cold but you're still smokin' hot And I'm trying to work out if I'm asleep or not And I'm pretending that i can give more than i've got I'm pretty scared I might get caught Because I'm not that impressive (I'm not trying to be depressing) I'm not a pessimist I'm a realist A mass of mess that lacks finesse Forgive the awkward silence and the few times we locked eyelines I'd just like you to stick around And my tongue gets tied just in time Before speech squeaks past my teeth and speaks "Be mine" I don't mean to sound obnoxious but how'd you get so gorgeous Because honestly I'm struggling to words put my in order Because your eyes are like magnets The attraction's a distraction And your smile sets loose an uncontrollable chain reaction From my eyes to my brain From my brain to my heart (Then my heart has a malfunction and has to restart) Because every time I see you You've somehow got more beautiful And it has to start beating far more than it used to do And my tongue gets tied just in time So I replace all I wanted to say with the phrase "I'm fine" Baby I'm broken But I'm hoping you're open to The thought that possibly what's missing from me is you I'm going out on a limb Taking a chance or two Because I'm pretty sure your type won't include blithering fools And i was never too good at maths at school So I can't calculate what you plus me could equal But I wasn't bad at fractions, or having louder words than actions So all I know is I'm not whole without you And your tongue gets tied just like mine And after all this time I still haven't worked out why
