Watching Her Walk Away

Lyrics

My palms are sweaty My mouth is dry She's walking towards me in slow motion What the heck goes through my mind? 'Don't cry, don't cry' Oh, hi "So, how's your day been? Don't be scared of the way I'm looking at you I'm not used to conversations with people as Beautiful as you" Oh, my god, did I just say that? Shit, shit I can't believe I said that out loud Excuse my French I'm just nervous is all I'm doing everything all wrong There's something in her smile There's something in her walk That makes my face turn red Then suddenly I forget how to talk She takes more than by breath away She takes my heart and then leaves me Brain dead in the hallway Watching her walk away [spoken] So I feel like the only way I can get through to her is in a letter My mom said Ryan Dawson did that in a movie once and it totally worked out for him, so… [sung] I think you're pretty I think you're totally smart and funny And everything I wish I could be Picture the opposite of that Hey, that's me I'm not a weirdo [awkward humming] But don't ask Tony He's douchebag and hates my guts Like it's my fault I'm who I am I wish I could change Wish I could start all over again And be born with an ounce of courage To put this letter in your hand Maybe Tony's right Maybe it's up to me to set my worries free Learn how to smile Learn how to walk Learn how to push my shoulders back Keep my chin up, then I'll remember how to talk I'll take her breath away I'll take my heart and wear it on my sleeve Then she won't leave Maybe she won't walk away And leave me on my own Like it's always been Mom says "don't worry 'Cause in college, you'll fit in" Then I'd be too late I think you're great What do you think of me? My palms are sweaty I take a breath She's walking toward me in slow motion One thought goes through my mind 'It's time' "So, how's your day been?" I reach for the letter in my pocket Then comes Tony She takes his hand So I smile and start to walk Everything is clear, no need to talk He took her breath away She took my heart and threw it back at me There in the hallway There's nothing I can say there in that hallway There's nothing I can do there in that hallway But walk away
