Every single time I see you I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging at the back of my head
I see it over and over
There he was. In all his glory. Strands of light blonde hair were tucked neatly behind his ear. Look over here, please. Notice me. Give me the time of day, the light of night, anything. Just notice me. I almost wish I were telepathic, I could send him messages anonymously. But no, that would be too convenient. Instead I have to sit here, looking at him like a lost puppy.
I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then
I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in
This time tonight
What I wouldn't give to be able to wrap my arms around him. Feel his heartbeat against mine, his slow breathing on my neck. He wouldn't love me back. Not the way I do with him, anyway. He's too good for me, something unattainable that I'm only meant to dream about. Like a beautiful exotic animal in a cage only meant for looking at.
If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
'Cause I need you
That's what he is. Something exotic trapped behind glass walls. Me? I'm the idiot who presses my face up against those walls, peering in curiously. But I don't forget that exotic creature when I go home at night. No, the image sticks with me, and I'll come back for more. But he won't notice, he has his own life inside those walls. A life I can't be a part of.
I sit here waiting wondering hoping that I'll make this right
'Cause all I think about is your hands
Your face and all these lonely nights
There's a feeling screaming in the back of my head
Saying over and over
And so I'll sit here. On the opposite side. The opposite team. And I'll pretend not to see him, I'll pretend not to think of him while I sleep. I'll pretend to be his enemy, he's the one I'm after. Gryffindor against Slytherin. Bravery against Evil. Me against him. Wood against Malfoy.
