I see you gazing at me
Staring from afar
I know you want to talk to me
Yet here we are
Across the room your brown eyes move
Catching my every action
As if not being able to see me
Was your biggest distraction
You won't acknowledge me anywhere
Unless we're all alone
I have to wait by lockers
Or all night by the phone
I told you I couldn't
Keep this a secret
Now I can't help it
I feel such deep regret
Because here we are in this dance
Unknowing how it will end
Upon every step taken
A consequence will descend
To stop mid-beat would be insane
Thoughts around would race
To be with you would be crazy
But we've already established I'm a basketcase
A jock to accompany a freak
Would surely be a sight to see
But I think it would be okay
If you closed the space and talked to me
To hear your voice in my ear
Softly speaking my name
Beckoning me to dance here
My body you will claim
But you walk on by with just one glimpse
Right along your jock-o friends
And all of a sudden it's very clear
How this relationship will end
There will be no smiles and kissesLike I truly dreamed
Only nights of longing
Pretending things weren't as they seemed
Because that single glimpse said it all
As you walked away
With your back turned to me
Afraid of your friends' dismay
If you were to come over and talk
If you were to kiss my face
If you were to take my hand and finish this dance
If you were to fall in love with a basketcase
