Mysterious to Me
Mystery boy, mysterious to me
In the way that you talk and the way that you think
You make me so nervous, so I choose words carefully
Hoping that somehow, someway, I can keep you interested
I uses to be a mystery myself and
I don't know when I blew my cover
Perhaps I have spent too many years yearning acceptance
Instead of luring others, quietly, to my heart of treasure
But once you said to me that Aquarians are very interesting
And you let me spill all of my hurt out
You said nothing but "Doesn't it feel better to just let it out?"
You didn't prod for more, you didn't offer advice
All you did was listen, and it threw me spiraling
Into the subtle ache in my chest -- you said nothing
You didn't toss out your own sob story
It made me respect you that much more but
I'm aching to know who you really are, you're taking it so slow
I hate and absolutely love it to such a confusing degree
Tell me all of your dirtiest secrets, tell me your dreams
Tell me what keeps you awake at night, all of your favorite things
I want to know the details that you think don't matter at all
I want to know your guilty flaws, and accept them all
I want to be the girl you've been waiting for, when you haven't been searching at all
Once you asked me if I've ever been in love
So I blabbered on like an idiot about my pathetic love life
I think I told you I've really been in love once but
Deep down I know I have so much more love to give
When I asked "How about you?" all you said was
"Who knows?", and what the hell was I supposed to say to that?
Mystery boy, you speak so simply that it hurts
Sometimes I wonder what makes you hold your guard up
I wonder who hurt you so bad, I want to heal the hurt
Something tells me you're not going to talk about it, and that's okay
Cause no one's going to change the past that haunts us
No one can erase the memories we wish we'd forget
But I can promise this one thing, that
I could be there by your side when
You wake up from a horrible nightmare
When the spirits are sending you off the edge
If you need to just cry and not talk
When you want to make love to no end
If you need a laugh, or six, or twelve
When you want to just run away
If you want to show me everything about a video game
Or go on a glorious adventure one day
I'll be there to cheer you on, I'll be your biggest fan
I'll be honest and loyal, your absolute best friend
I'm not here to change you, not here to change your life
Only here to enhance your days, fill your heart with delight
Already I feel so silly, writing so much for someone that
I hardly know at all, and you said that yourself
I know I don't talk to you every day, I hope you don't mind
But I've learned that space is okay, and that
Mystery boy, mysterious to me
The way that you talk and the way that you think
Makes me choose my words so carefully
I don't want to annoy you, I don't want to scare you off
I'm willing to take things slow, to win your heart
I want to get to know you, I hope you like who I am
I hope you'll accept my flaws and give me a chance
I can rock your world, mysterious, handsome boy
Your smile is just playing in my head...
Mystery boy, mysterious to me
You've got my head in the clouds and heart filled with dreams
In the way that you talk and the way that you think
You make me so nervous, so I choose words carefully
