about

When your main drive in life is self expression, yet you can't quite bring yourself to do it in the most critical moments, you might end up with a song like this in the back of your mind.

lyrics

Oh shit! I can't move my lips!
I think I might've caught the yips
My English could use some
Could really use some practice
Cuz when I see your smile my heart could skip a country mile
It almost makes the downside of life completely worthwhile, but...

Well Angelina, there's this thing, uh, I've been meanin'a
Something I've been tryna say
But I can never pull the trigger, just keep waitin' for another day
Whenever your name's mentioned I can't help but pay attention
But when I see you, I lock up like an inmate in detention

Every time you talk to me, I think so hard that I can't speak on cue
Ima idiot for you
Wasted a pen and paper just tryna say to her, "Hey girl,
Ima idiot for you"

Well please now, if you would just calm down, I can explain
I've written it out about 1000x but I have no idea what to say
And every opportunity I've got I've squashed:
We're face to face, you say hey,
you're eyes are smilin' and my heart's awash

Every time you talk to me, I think so hard that I can't speak on cue
Ima idiot for you
Wasted a pack of paper just tryna say to her, "Hey girl,
Ima idiot for you"

No matter how many times I try
No matter how much it hurts inside
No matter all of the things I think
I can't say anything because

Every time you talk to me, I think so hard that I can't speak on cue
Ima idiot for you
Busted the old confuser just tryna get through to her, "Hey boo!
Ima idiot for you"
