Everybody in this place can up and move away
For all I care this town's already dead and empty
I'm told that I'm a victim of obsession
That's what my friends say
That I'm a fool for having ever let her tempt me

Well I turn pale
When she walks by
I am lost
In her eyes
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind

She glances over but she keeps on walking down the street
All I can do is hope that she is thinking of me
If I could blink, if I could breathe, if I could get my legs to move
Well this could be the day I get this girl to love me

Well I turn pale
When she walks by
I am lost
In her eyes
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind
She had turned
From a sound
Well I must have cried out loud
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind

    General Comment:I agree with who said its someone he cant stop thinking about, but the girl cant see him being as more than a friend, this happens all too often. Feelings always change though, so eventually the girl will think of him if he gets the courage to say what he feels, the thing is, will he have found a girl who appreciates him when he wants her, then that girl may realize she missed a chance. So goes the circle of life, haha

    General Comment:This song is so cute. I wish a guy sent this song to me. It's almost too catchy to listen to every day, because it will get in your head and not get out. But somehow, I always find myself listening to it randomly. It's a good song, though, so it's alright.

    (haha, harry potter... wow, you make me laugh. thankies for brightening my day.)

    General Comment:i can definately relate to this song. its such a happy catchy song yet i still feel sad and this one time when i thought the guy i liked left i fully just balled and for some weird reason i listen to sad music to help me get over it. so like dashboard confessional and phantom planet. like lonely day is a good one. loll. but uhh yeah. even though its like a happy catchy song. itll still make me cry. i feel that spilling out my emotions helps me get over shit easier. oh and i soon found out the guy didnt leave and i felt like the biggest nob. loll. peace. oh and wtf was with that harry potter shit? loll \

    General Comment:this song is the story of my life. well, take out the girl and put guy. It's simply about a guy who sees a girl all the time, but he's probably never talked to her. Yet he loves her, and he can't bring himself to say anything. I love phantom planet

    General Comment:Man, I love this song. It happens to me all the time

    Everybody in this place get up and move away
    For all I care this towns already dead and empty

    Everytime I saw this girl I like, someone always has to come along (most of the time it si some tool I dislike), and I just wish everyone would go away. Also, everyone else becomes so insignificant, it does feel like the town is empty
    I also love the "If i COULD BLINK IF i COULD BREATHE) bit, because it describes me so well. IF I could just be myself around her, she might fall for me!
    BTW, the UK version (Alex Greenwald mix) is WAY BETTER!!!
