Let's go for a walk in the moonlight
So I can fail to say what I feel
'cause your green eyes make everything
Too difficult to reveal
I wrote you a thousand letters
And you said every word made sense
But I know that you haven't gotten around
To reading a single one yet
I learned to run away before I could crawl
I used to play third base and then I dropped the ball
Everyone only remembers your mistakes
I lost half of my lovers by telling the truth
Lost the other half telling them lies
Now you roll back your eyes and fall asleep
Like my grandmother did when she died
Sit back and just paint me a nervous smile
And sigh with every muscle taut
And I'll never stop thinking about the way
You were too scared to say what you thought
