Nepoleon Campbell - Standing in the Shadows Lyrics

Baby girl you make me nervous
I've never felt this way before
The way I feel is a sort of burden
Can't seem to get to know you more
I'll sit here and I'll surmise
If everything I fantasize
Is only just a little in the future
I only want to speak my mind
But all the words are hard to find
I can't expect to tell you any sooner

I'm foolish
For standing in the shadows when you're near
I find myself to be so useless
When I can't even make my feelings clear
Before the moment disappears

But when I try to keep my focus
My thoughts they circle back to you
I hear your name play on repeat
And think about how it'd be sweet
If my name played in circles in your head too

But I'm foolish
For standing in the shadows when you're near
I find myself to be so useless
When I can't even make my feelings clear
Before the moment disappears

Standing in the shadows when you're near
Standing in the shadows when you're near
Standing in the shadows when you're near
Standing in the shadows when you're near

And when I sit down at the piano
I feel you tiptoe on the keys
I watch my fingers as they move
But deep inside I feel it's you
That puppeteers my fingers and my heartstrings

But I'm foolish
For standing in the shadows when you're near
(Standing in the shadows when you're near)
I find myself to be so useless
When I can't even make my feelings clear
(I can't even make my feelings clear)
(Before the moment disappears)
Oh I'm foolish
For standing in the shadows when you're near
(Standing in the shadows when you're near)
I find myself to be so useless
When I can't even make my feelings clear
Before the moment disappears
