It was our senior year of high school, the night of prom. Neither Sam nor I had dates so we told Carly we would go together. I haven't loved Carly now for a long time, I have actually had a crush on Sam, but in fear of losing my life never confessed to it.
Standing by the wall watching Carly and Sam dance I just start thinking about all the years that Sam had preformed physical harm on me and questioning myself on how on Earth I started loving her. Then like a message from the Gods a song that just so happens to fit all my feelings came on..
We never spoke a word
It's true; I think she may love me too. But we have never said anything to anyone about this…
But every thought she had I heard from across the room If we were standing face to face
There she is, looking at me, It's like I can hear ever thing she ever thinking
I couldn't find the words to say give me one more move
I don't even know her name
I guess foolish prides to blame
My Pride is what is getting in my way. If I could just tell her..
Now I'm Falling in love as she's walking away
and my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Now I'm falling in love as she's walking away
I look up, she is walking to the door, I need to catch her but I'm afraid that she will reject me.
Then from nowhere Principal Franklin came and told me to chase her. Like he could read my mind.
Wise man next to me did say
bout the one that got away
son i missed my change
Don't you let regret take place
of the dreams you have to chase
ask her to dance…. go on son
you might fall down on your face
roll the dice and have some faith
You might fall down on your face
roll the dice and have some faith
