lyrics

(I don’t wanna fall, I don’t wanna fall) x4
I’m falling in love
But I don’t want to be
I’m captivated, I’m taken
But so is she
This crush won’t seem to bend
But she already /has a boyfriend/
I’m falling in love
But I don’t want to be

I don’t wanna fall, I don’t wanna fall
So no more waiting for late night telephone calls
No more manning up, no more grow some balls
No more wanking in public restroom stalls

This girl has got me at the end of a wire
And she don’t know but my heart’s a-fire
But I’m the only one whose heart is free
She’s taken
But not by me.

I’m a stranger to love
But this is the real thing
I feel it inside
I want to be her king
You know I’d kill to make her smile
But killing won’t make her smile
I’m a stranger to love
But this is the real thing

I don’t wanna fall, I don’t wanna fall
So no more shopping for gifts at the shopping mall
No more trying to muster up the gall
No more trying, I’m gonna stop once and for all

This girl has got me at the end of a wire
And she don’t know but my heart’s a-fire
But I’m the only one whose heart is free
She’s taken
But not by me.

She loves me
She needs me
She always wants to be by my side
She tells me
I please her
Yeah, for her there is no other guy

Except her boyfriend.

I see her
I want her
I’d like to ask her out on a date
She loves you
She needs you
You’ll never be more than friendmates

about

Kevin Calaway Seattle, Washington

I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain - but who has time for that? I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
