Game Face
'Can I have one moment with you'
No, no
Blast it, that will never work
Why do I feel so awkward
It's just one simple phrase
Could it be this day
or just the words I just can't bring myself to say
Pacing up and down these halls
lying in wait for a someone to turn the corner
Man, what is with me
It's one small thing
just a tiny thing I've attempted
time and time again
still the doubt starts to fill
like 'Why her'
'She'll never understand'
I mean maybe she will
but what if she doesn't
I don't know
Halfway there am I
Is that her
could it be her
I'm hopeful now
but all I see is feet
not the person they're connected to
Guess it's time to wear my game face
get ready to spill the contents of my brain
and hope my mouth can clean up the spill on aisle 3
