I can't see the wood for the trees
I can't see the birds for the bees
But I see your smiling face across the dance floor.
It's too far for me to walk
Heaven forbid I have to talk.
I was hoping that you could read my mind.
They say that love is blind
It is for me, I can't read the signs.
You could be naked, sitting on a green traffic light.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained"
But I don't want to crash in flames.
I want to leave here with my dignity intact.
I think you're stunning. Cos I am literally stunned:
I can't move an inch towards you.
But neither can I run.
Then you leave.
Cnd I will think about you every night in bed.
I'll replay it all over in my head but next time I'll be brave.
I'll be strong.
Meanwhile back in the Real World
I've still found it hard to talk to girls.
I think it would be easier to speak to a being from outer space.
Talking of which I've seen some sights.
Some beautiful stars have come out at night.
But I've had to observe them from what seemed like Light Years away.
I know it's hard to understand. I know it's just a small step for a man.
But the situation's gravity was pushing down on me.
I thought they were stunning. Cos I was literally stunned:
I couldn't move an inch towards them.
But neither could I run.
Then they left.
Cnd I have thought about them every night in bed.
I've replayed it all over in my head. c million times I've been brave.
I've been strong.

I can't see the wood for the trees

They say that love is blind
It is for me, I can't read the signs.
You could be naked, sitting on a green traffic light.
