I wanted to speak with you tonight
Your presence was inviting
I have trouble finding the right words
Could you ever look my way

A group gathers around you
I try to stay beside
They cling to your words like I
Rushing to understand you

I’d prefer to take my time
But there appears to be not much
Every thought I wished to give you
Has been swept away in idle chat

I want to understand you
I want to know you better
I want one thing more to make it fair
I long for you to understand me
