Gray Or Blue

I feel so helpless now

My guitar is not around

And I'm struggling with the xylophone

To make these feelings sound

And I'm remembering you singing

And bringin' you to life

It's raining out the window

And today it looks like night

You haven't written to me in a week

I'm wondering why that is

Are you too nervous to be lovers

Friendship's ruined with just one kiss?

I watched you very closely, I saw you look away

Your eyes are either gray or blue

I'm never close enough to say

But your sweatshirt says it all

With the hood over your face

I can't keep starin' at your mouth

Without wonderin' how it tastes

I'm with another boy

(He's asleep, I'm wide awake )

And he tried to win my heart

But it's taken

(Time...)

I know the shape of your hands

Because I watch 'em when you talk

And I know the shape of your body

'Cause I watch it when you walk

And I want to know it all

But I'm giving you the lead

So go on, go on and take it

Don't fake it, shake it

(Charming

Crazy eyes have you

Are they gray or blue?

I won't make the move

You must make the move

If you make the move

I will then approve

If you do not move

We will surely lose...)

Don't second-guess your feelings

You were right from the start

And I notice she's your lover

But she's nowhere near your heart

This city is for strangers

Like the sky is for the stars

But I think it's very dangerous

If we do not take what's ours

And I'm winning you with words

Because I have no other way

I'd love to look into your face

Without your eyes turning away

Last night I watched you sing

Because a person has to try

And I walked home in the rain

Because a person cannot lie...
