To say I'm soft-spoken...
With the assumption that there's anything to say
Neglecting the courage it took to simply speak
Your purposeful radiance making me weak
We go through emotions as these never easily
Well, perhaps maybe you do; I'm less fortunate, see
I try, but my problem is that I'm once shy
Just once, and for all ever after
That's my story, and a cause for small laughter
But when the joke clears, still I'm up on the stand
And my next line doesn't fly until the punch lands
Do you understand? For me this is all a stage fright
Sitting here watching you watching me at amateur night
