A Closer Inspection

Passing by I saw this shirt
Though it's warm in here I freeze
I didn't expect her to show up
The evening seems to rearrange
What the hell am I
Gonna say or do or talk about
If she comes by, walks to me
Or even talks to me – guys, see ya!
"Stop dumb coward, it's time to quit running away!"
Time's up, she's drawing near...

Closer
She's getting
Closer
Still getting
Closer
She's comin' to me!

Did she
Even
See Me
Thoughts
Starting To Spin
So far?
There she is...

... and passes by

Captured in my own timidity
Can't overcome my mediocrity
Though I long for breaking free
She's six feet from me, nevertheless out of reach

Looking back it seems like I
Always tend to make a muff
So to speak nothing at all
Every time I thought I got a chance
While at the same time not wanting
To give up and to give in

"Switch off reason, prove yourself
You're into it, try to let go!"
Now I'm gonna quit running away
Might be the worst situation to waste...

Closer
I'm getting
Closer
Still getting
Closer
Only two steps to go!

All my
Senses
Drift off
Thoughts
Spinning Again
Alright!
There she is...

...I pass by

Captured in my own timidity
Can't overcome my mediocrity
Though I long for breaking free

Have you ever noticed
The changing colors of a scene
Which long ago worked up by time
But still keeps calling, never fixed?
