The Nerve

Get up the nerve,
Cause really what's the worst thing
That could happen?
Go make your move.
There you are.
And here I am.
I have to make that clear
In my own mind
So I know where to begin this.
And I know you're leavin soon,
I'm busy as can be
So it wouldn't really make much sense to me.
But your eyes are dumbin' me down
And I can't take mine off of you.
So how's about spendin' half a day
Underneath a tree losin' leaves?
Who knows if they'll grow back again?
Say you will,
Or that you wish you could, convincingly.
Cause you're makin' me feel like I'm a real live
Human boy.
And she said, What's that you got?
Robotic insides?
I know I'm not black blooded
So we should dance right now
And wisen up later.
My view of you is cuttin' through
The bitter storms of the sea.
Them clouds ain't strong now as they sounded.
Let's just drive,
I wanna see
What the wind does to your hair.
Would you take a drive?
Say you will,
Or that you wish you could, convincingly.
Cause you're helpin' me remember
What it's like to have feelings like a normal human.
And she said, What's that you got?
Robotic insides?
I know I'm not black blooded
So we should dance right now
And wisen up a little later.
My view of you is cuttin' through
The bitter storms of the sea.
Your eyes are dumbin' me down
And I can't take mine off of you.
Let's just drive,
I wanna see
What the wind does to your hair.
Would you take a drive?
Take a drive, Take a drive
