DESCRIPTION:
it's freezing cold, but you're still smokin' hot
and i'm trying to work out if i'm asleep or not
and i'm pretending that i can give more than i've got
i'm pretty sure that i might get caught

because i'm not that impressive, i'm not trying to sound depressing
i'm not a pessimist, just a realist; a mass of mess that lacks finesse
forgive the awkward silence, and the few times we locked eyelines
i'd just like you to stick around

and my tongue gets tied, just in time
before speech squeaks past my teeth, and speaks...
be mine

i don't mean to sound obnoxious, but how'd you get so gorgeous?
'cause honestly, i'm struggling to words put my in order
because your eyes are like magnets; the attraction's a distraction
and your smile sets loose an uncontrollable chain reaction

from my eyes to my brain, from my brain to my heart
then my heart has a malfunction, and has to restart
because every time i see you, you've somehow got more beautiful
and it has to start beating far more than it used to do

and my tongue gets tied, just in time
so i replace all i wanted to say with the phrase...
"i'm fine"

'cause baby i'm broken, but i'm hoping you're open to
the thought that possibly what's missing from me is you
i'm going out on a limb, taking a chance or two
because i'm pretty sure your type won't include blithering fools

and i was never too good at maths at school
so i can't calculate what you plus me could equal
but i wasn't bad at fractions, or having louder words than actions
so all i know is i'm not whole without you

and your tongue gets tied, just like mine
and after all this time, i still haven't worked out why
