lyrics

My chest starts pounding when I see you coming
I look away fast when I see your face amongst the crowd

It’s been a long time
Strong feelings are hard to find in stranger’s eyes
I hope that you see
What I’m trying to be, and if so that’s fine
Whatever you decide

I got your hand in mine, all I want is to lock eyes
We see a bridge in sight, the colors shift as we walk by

Let you be my eyes, cause all I see is outside
Do the X-rays look right?
My help comes from you, but she blocks my view
Push it aside

Are you signaling me?
Should I move in or should I retreat
Cause my heart won’t stop speeding
And my mind won’t stop racing
When I’m with you

Just tell me now, just tell me now
Cause coffee is short, long term, will this work out?

Are you signaling me?
Should I move in or should I retreat
Cause my heart won’t stop speeding
And my mind won’t stop racing
When I’m with you
