Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say.
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way, ah
When you look at me that way.
Throw a stone
And watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery, ah
Deep into some mystery.
I got half a mind
To scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I will never have to
Lose you girl
So I won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie.
Won't ever have to say goodbye.
Whoa I,
Whoa I,
Whoa I
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say.
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way, ah
When you look at me that way.
Throw a stone
And watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery, ah
Deep into some mystery.
I got half a mind
To scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I will never have to
Lose you girl
So I won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie.
Won't ever have to say goodbye.
Whoa I,
Whoa I,
Whoa I
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you.

It just reminds me of not feeling worthy. Being so shy, and insecure. Just one glance ment the world to me. Now i'm beautiful. But when I think back then...I still feel like I'm ugly.
I feel like the lyrics are about not being able to express how you really feel for someone and it plays havoc on your emotional state when you think about them leaving.
This is the first song I've heard from David, but I'm looking forward to listening to more.
But I do have to agree with you. I'm that kind of person who keeps everything inside. I can't express. Some months ago, I fell in love. And it's getting better, because of him. He makes me wanna share everything I feel. It's just that sometimes I wish I could open up a bit more to him. I think it's hard to be in a relationship with someone like me..
So to everybody who can relate, open up. It's worth it :)

It's like you're feeling so much, you can't control, you've got to say something, you can't keep all those intense feelings all to yourself. But you just don't know how, all words are falling short. You feel the need to explain what you're feeling, cause you maybe feel like the other person doesn't understand or maybe you get the feeling he or she isn't loving you back. I can relate :)
It's absolutely beautiful.
I think this song just shows that not all feelings and emotions can be put into words. It's often so hard to explain how you feel, especially if you aren't sure that the other person will be able to understand, as feelings are so personal. When you feel very strongly, it is natural to feel confused and at a loss as to how to express yourself, and what best to do to ensure that you play things right and don't lose out. Here he is just so in love with th girl that he can't express how deeply he feels, all he can do is stare into her eyes to keep her close and try and minimise the risk of losing her. He is so frustrated at his inability to put his feelings into words that he wants to scream out or even die because love results in both pain and joy.
Perhaps he is saying that sometimes the intensity of love simply transcends language.
As for this song, it's one of Gray's finest :)
I prefer the radio edit though.
