Don’t know why shy

CAME TO SEE YOU EARLIER TODAY,

COULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE DOORWAY 

BECAUSE I FROZE.

I HAD THE WORDS ALL WRITTEN DOWN,

WAS PRETTY SURE I WOULDN’T DROWN,

INSTEAD, I FROZE.

 

IN MOVIES, THE GUY TAKES A POSE,

OPENS HIS MOUTH AND SO IT FLOWS,

NOT ME, I FROZE.

WANTED SO MUCH TO BE THAT GUY,

JUST COULDN’T DO IT; MY THROAT WAS DRY.

SADLY, I FROZE.

 

FROM MID-LIGHT 

TO MIDNIGHT,

I TRY MY BEST 

TO BE MY BEST.

FROM MOONLIGHT

TO SUNLIGHT,

I’M SHY. 

DON’T KNOW WHY, SHY. 

 

 I TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY,

THIS TIME I KNEW WHAT ACT TO PLAY,

A PART THAT I CHOSE.

I STOOD UP STRAIGHT, I FIXED MY SHADES,

I CLEARED MY THROAT; I CHECKED MY SUEDES.

AND JUST LIKE THAT, COLD FEET AND SO IT GOES,

I FROZE.

 

FROM MID-LIGHT 

TO MIDNIGHT,

I TRY MY BEST 

TO BE MY BEST.

FROM MOONLIGHT

TO SUNLIGHT,

I’M SHY. 

DON’T KNOW WHY, SHY. 

 

WHEN FINALLY, I FOUND THE STRENGTH

TO TOUCH THE BELL ON APRIL 10TH

HOLDING A ROSE.

I RANG, I KNOCKED AND RANG AGAIN

I WAITED LONG, YOU NEVER CAME.

MAYBE T’WAS TOO HARD TO EXPLAIN

OR T’WAS TOO FAR TO SEE THE FLAME

OR….MAYBE YOU FROZE.

 

 FROM MID-LIGHT 

TO MIDNIGHT,

I TRY MY BEST 

TO BE MY BEST.

FROM MOONLIGHT

TO SUNLIGHT,

I’M TOO SHY. 

DON’T KNOW WHY, SHY.
