[Verse 1]
Won't you look this way, for a little while
I want you to realize, I am by your side
Won't you look this way, five seconds will do
Won't you look at me, that's right here next to you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Although in reality
Even if your eyes see me
It passes by and there's no time
For us to say anything

[Chorus 1]
Message on a placard from my heart
If you could just take a look at me
Surely you would understand
How I really feel
If I write down everything on this
Just to say that I really like you
Though my chest is beating fast
Though my palms are sweating now
I'll tell you that I love you

[Verse 2]
Give me a chance, just one chance is fine
Saying my prayers on my own, waiting for a sign
Give me a chance, even if unplanned
Come and look at me, turn and look my way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I should get it together
I should go and say hello
But saying it, is easier
And so much harder to do

[Chorus 2]
Message on a placard from my heart
Wish my hand could go into my mouth
There is a block on my heart
So take it away
You should know that I really like you
If there is some way I could tell you
Even if there's no reply
And even if it's hard to try
It would make me happy

[Bridge]
Everybody hides away
Those important words to say
Somewhere in a distant place
Way deep down, inside their heart

[Chorus 1]
Message on a placard from my heart
If you could just take a look at me
Surely you would understand
How I really feel
If I write down everything on this
Just to say that I really like you
Though my chest is beating fast
Though my palms are sweating now
I'll tell you that I'll do
[Chorus 3]
Message on a placard from my heart
Hey, why don't you let it all go out?
Then tell me what you're thinking
Be honest with me
If you can't say what you're feeling
It's okay to put it in writing
What you want to show to me
What you want to say to me
Look at me and read my sign
