Why did thoughts of you
slip inside my heart on their own?
My cheeks, with just a glance,
burn glowing red and blush.
As I babble something aimlessly,
as a little love begins to grow,
as shyness wells up inside,
she came searching for me.
Time stands still on its own,
passion casts a spell,
and words begin to stutter.
All that was locked inside my heart,
she came and broke wide open.
My heart is ready to take your side,
my eyes are calling out to you,
come to claim this treasure.
Love is pooled and waiting,
come and take it for yourself.
No one has ever stopped to look and talk to me,
no one has ever waited to give me anything.
Just because you came and looked at me,
even the cold mist caught fire.
Girl, walking away while hiding your eyes,
no one had ever called me before this.
I fell right into your heart,
to stay there forever.
Hey, why did thoughts of you
slip inside my heart on their own?
My cheeks, with just a glance,
burn glowing red and blush.
As I babble something aimlessly,
as a little love begins to grow,
as shyness wells up inside,
she came searching for me.
Time stands still on its own,
passion casts a spell,
and words begin to stutter.
All that was locked inside my heart,
she came and broke wide open.
My heart is ready to take your side,
my eyes are calling out to you,
come to claim this treasure.
Love is pooled and waiting,
come and take it for yourself.
