My palms are sweaty
My mouth is dry
She’s walking towards me in slow motion
What the heck goes through my mind?
‘Don’t cry, don’t cry’
Oh, hi

“So, how’s your day been?
Don’t be scared of the way I’m looking at you
I’m not used to conversations with people as
Beautiful as you”
Oh, my god, did I just say that?
Shit, shit
I can’t believe I said that out loud
Excuse my French
I’m just nervous is all
I’m doing everything all wrong

There’s something in her smile
There’s something in her walk
That makes my face turn red
Then suddenly I forget how to talk
She takes more than by breath away
She takes my heart and then leaves me
Brain dead in the hallway
Watching her walk away

[spoken]
So I feel like the only way I can get through to her is in a letter
My mom said Ryan Dawson did that in a movie once and it totally worked out for him, so…

[sung]
I think you’re pretty
I think you’re totally smart and funny
And everything I wish I could be
Picture the opposite of that
Hey, that’s me

I’m not a weirdo
[awkward humming]
But don’t ask Tony
He’s douchebag and hates my guts
Like it’s my fault I’m who I am
I wish I could change
Wish I could start all over again
And be born with an ounce of courage
To put this letter in your hand
Maybe Tony’s right
Maybe it’s up to me to set my worries free

Learn how to smile
Learn how to walk
Learn how to push my shoulders back
Keep my chin up, then I’ll remember how to talk
I’ll take her breath away
I’ll take my heart and wear it on my sleeve
Then she won’t leave
Maybe she won’t walk away

And leave me on my own
Like it’s always been
Mom says “don’t worry
‘Cause in college, you’ll fit in”
Then I’d be too late
I think you’re great
What do you think of me?

My palms are sweaty
I take a breath
She’s walking toward me in slow motion
One thought goes through my mind
‘It’s time’
“So, how’s your day been?”
I reach for the letter in my pocket
Then comes Tony
She takes his hand
So I smile and start to walk
Everything is clear, no need to talk

He took her breath away
She took my heart and threw it back at me
There in the hallway
There’s nothing I can say there in that hallway
There’s nothing I can do there in that hallway
But walk away
