I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
[Chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you, away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
[Chorus]
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Guess I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you, away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
[Chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you, away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
[Chorus]
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Guess I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you, away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say

"What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter
I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say"
That's so very me.
This song has made me cry once or twice because when I like someone, when I really like them (and I do not use the word love because I do not believe that we have enough maturity in high school to truly understand the consequences and meaning of love) I can never tell them that I do. My last crush was another one of my best friends and it was the day before the last day of school before I could pluck up the courage to even give him a note. I can only hope that I'll be able to tell him before it's too late, before school ends and we're all gone for the summer, and then in a couple of years, for college, or before he gets a girlfriend.
The only thing that I can't really relate with, at least not too well is:
"I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it"
I don't want someone I need to change for. But I'd be almost willing to change for him. I trust him.
Which, of course, is intentional. :D
