I see you sitting
Only one row away
Can I get the courage to leave my seat
You are with your friends
That makes it a little harder

Can I tell you how I feel
Or will I just sit here watching you
Can I have the courage to say
I like you
And walk away

Or will I be paralyzed
And not mutter a word
And be the idiot sitting beside you

Or will I sit back
And watch
Some other have you
Then think of all the could have beens
The what ifs
