You make me nervous

Like I’m 12 at the dance 

Like they paid you a dollar to dance with me

Nervous like I’ve never spoke to anyone before 

My soul lights up  

By the time it gets to my mouth 

I can’t think of anything to say or I am afraid 

You give me all the signs

Some so obvious 

And yet I sit still nervous 

Hoping you will lead me to you 

Easily 

Where I’m unafraid to be myself 

Express myself

Share every ounce of me

With you 

But I can’t break through the basics  

You make me nervous 

And I make you nervous even when you give me the hints 

I should go back where you are right now 

Run inside and take you away 

Like the movies

But I know that’s bullshit 

You make me nervous

Just when I have put you outside of my mind 

You’ll be there again 

As a sign saying 

Go for it

But I want to respect you 

And protect myself 

Even though I don’t care what you think

Of me, ultimately

I wonder what you’ll do next to show me you want me 

And I wonder if I’ll finally ask you something 

I don’t want you to take my order 

I’d rather be making this at home while you’re still asleep

In the other room 

You make me nervous 

I’ve come so far through so much 

And I’m not scared to fail 

I guess you just make me nervous 

Tomorrow is another moment to change the dynamics 

Small sliver of time I need to arrest 

And put a sign next to your sign 

You see it in my eyes as I see it in yours 

Long deep messages being sent 

I like you 

Ask me something
