I saw the elegance in your pink and red cheeks
My eyes opened wide, as my heart skipped a beat
I made it so obvious, my shots could not miss
I figured you'd smile, it was the least I expected
A new feeling and a constant pain
I know what's wrong, but I know what is right
Long brown hair and crystal eyes
And a beauty of a body, put my breath on ice
I want to tell you straight in the face
That I like you, but I have to stay some paces behind
Why? 'Cause I'm shy
And I don't know any better, I'm always afraid
I'd take you to the movies, you'd be home on time
We'll hold hands in the evening
And wait for a sign
We'd laugh and make small talk
Kindness in kind
And when we knew each other better
We would kiss and drink wine
Friends are pushing me to talk to her
Just a friendly conversation, wouldn't hurt you to try
But I fear, that I might trip on my lines
Take a perfect situation and run out of time
Round and round and round we go
Must have left my courage behind
Run aground, lost and found
Trapped inside a merry-go-round
Cause there she sits upon her chair
With an empty one beside her for me
Must I remain, sending telepathic messages?
I want to tell you straight in the face
That I like you, but I have to stay some paces behind
Why, 'cause I'm shy
And I don't know any better
Cause I'm just some guy
