I stare at you with a gaze of naïveté
I follow through though I'm not really sure what us means
Could your appeal be because at times our spirits align
If I read a bit between the lines
Are you showing me something I can't see
Do you get unsure about your plans for the future
Your calm demure makes it seem like everything's in tune
Your circles are small, is there room for anyone else within
If I asked would you let me in
Or does trying at all make me a fool?
Subconsciously my curiosity got the better of me
And now we're here
And with a word or three you could shatter me
You can't see but there's so much fear
And if I could find the courage to remind you
That maybe I'm worth your time
Then you could see you don't have to be alone
I could be standing next to you
I'm more than just an accessory
I could be the one you tell your secrets to
Let your bottled up emotions free
I know you see a friend when you look at me
But when I look at you
I see the boy who could be the man of my dreams
But there's a filter blocking you
And there's a filter blocking me
If reading you were a test I'd fail in about two seconds
You're confident, cool but that only makes up part of your essence
You live carefree though you're shrouded by a sense of mystery
Baby boy you inspire me
I wanna match your effervescence
Subconsciously my curiosity got the better of me
And now we're here
And with a word or three you could shatter me
You can't see but there's so much fear
And if I could find the courage to remind you
That maybe I'm worth your time
Then you could see you don't have to be alone
I could be standing next to you
I'm more than just an accessory
I could be the one you tell your secrets to
Let your bottled up emotions free
I know you see a friend when you look at me
But when I look at you
I see the boy who could be the man of my dreams
But inside I'm screaming
I don't understand
This giant wall that stands between us has enough chinks
You can see me but the image is distorted
They say that love is blind
I bet you're seeing in black and white
But there's 1000 shades of grey to describe the ways I feel torn inside
If the world is going under the only thing we have is love
It can guide us through uncertainty in times we are away from home
So boy don't change a thing but maybe clean your glasses please
I'm standing right in front of you
You don't have to be alone
I could be standing next to you
I'm more than just an accessory
But there's a filter blocking you
And there's a filter blocking me
I follow through though I'm not really sure what us means
Could your appeal be because at times our spirits align
