shy boy

one of these days you just might snap,
gonna let it all out where it can't come back.
i know you want to go.

but it's harder than hoppin' fences,
lettin' down your stone defences,
and i know you know i know.

but you still can't look her in the eye,
thinkin' "you're too old to be so shy" -
and "i love you."

one of these days she just might see
the words you never speak to be,
but oh, the days are slow.

and it's harder than pursin' lips,
reading carefully for slips,
but i know you know i know.

and you still can't look her in the eye,
thinkin' "you're too old to be so shy" -
and "i love you."

you still can't look her in the eye,
thinkin' "you're too old to be so shy" -
thinkin' "i love you."
