Lyrics

Never knew never knew time flies so instantly when you cross my mind
Cannot sleep can't concentrate
Oh~Oh
Can I know that it's true when I'm constantly tuning out
Need to mute my thoughts
Your a song in my head

In my mind
I'm satisfied
So elated
Still so shy

Why oh why
Do I keep on holding back this feeling inside?
Try I try
Not to fall so hard
In this risky business...called love

It's been said when it's love then you know
Oh so ambiguous
Wish they were more logical

In my mind
I amplify
The little things you say
Turns me on

Why oh why
Sharing all the careless moments made me realize
Try I try
Not to fall so hard in this risky business
business called love

Now you want to seal the deal
Am I ready for something real?
Yeah maybe this time

Why oh why
Do I keep on holding back this feeling inside?
Try I try
Picking up the courage that I left far behind
High so high

Why not enjoy this risky thing called love

Oh yeah...
