lyrics

There’s something that I must get off my chest
Lately, you’ve been making me a mess
You’re probably not aware that I’m alive
But my whole world revolves around your smile
And I’ve been so afraid to let you know
Cuz maybe you would laugh like it’s a joke

So I think that I’ll just be content to love you from afar
I’ll smile and nod politely when I pass you in my car
And I’ll write tons of songs about you that I’ll play on my guitar
And the audience will wonder where you live and who you are
And why I chose to love you from afar.

I ran into you last night at the dance
You’d think by now that I would take a chance
To let you know you’re all I think about
And ask if maybe we could just hang out
But I struggle for the words to say to you
So for now there’s only one thing I can do

So I think that I’ll just be content to love you from afar
I’ll smile and nod politely when I pass you in my car
And I’ll write tons of songs about you that I’ll play on my guitar
And the audience will wonder where you live and who you are
And why I chose to love you from afar.

But I’m not content to love you from afar
So tonight’s the night that I’ll come clean and pour out all my heart
And you’ll finally realize that you’re the girl in all my songs
And perhaps you’ll ask me why it’s ever taken me this long
To let you know I’ve loved you from afar.
