Lyrics

Been waiting out here for ya
Don't know you but I'd like to
Ask you out for coffee if you had a little time
I saw you walking by me
I thought that it just might be
Nice if I could get to know you for a little while

I'm all choked up inside with all these butterflies
I feel like I could fly away

Chorus

I don't know you but I want to
Look inside those deep blue eyes and maybe I'd see
What your feeling as I'm reeling
I don't mind, if you keep the breath you took away

We can't stand here forever
It looks like nasty weather
Let's go someplace warm before the rain comes falling down
You keep on playing with your hair
And I can't help it I stare
Swimming in a see of ecstasy I might just drown
Did you ask how I feel, this is so surreal
I feel like I could fly away
