Can't Get Up The Nerve
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every day I see your eyes.
And you look at mine, and you don't say hi.
You smile at me as you walk away.
And I won't see you for another day.
I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
Another day, and I try to smile.
I have not felt this way in quite a while.
We pass again and we both say hi.
And it feels so good when you pass me by.
I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
This time around I'll flash a smile.
You know I'm more than just a child.
You tell me that your boyfriend's mad.
And so's your mom, and so's your dad.
I can't get up the nerve to call you.
But you're not waiting for me, are you?
Are you...?
