about

"So divine / Got me out my mind / Intertwined in her designs / Sublime she shines..."

A song about the girl you wish you had, but will never get.

lyrics

This here’s a casualty
Cause she’s such a sight to see
Especially once the sun goes down.

I’ve got a fever
Whenever I’m near her
And I just dunno what to say.

And I know she’s heard it
A thousand times before
But she is just so damn fine.

And I know
Once I catch her eye
I’ll forget all my lines.

(Chorus)
‘Cause when you look at me that way
I’m on a ride for days
It’s a feeling I just can’t convey.
I try to tell a joke
But, all I do is choke
On every single word I say.
Maybe I’ll admit defeat
Don’t want you to know that you’ve got me beat;
I try to heal my injury
But I’m mortally wounded, a casualty.

So I walk over to the girl,
Then I tapped her on the shoulder
Looked her in the eyes
And then this is what I told her:

I said, “You’re the queen of the world,
I’m only a typical guy, I’m just an average Joe
No, I ain’t no Romeo

I’m a work-in-progress, if you put the time in
I will treat you right,
Yeah, I will be a gentleman

… Maybe that sounded a bit better in my head, -
Guess I should’ve used one of those pickup lines instead.

(Chorus)

I just dunno why, it’s like she doesn’t even try.
She’s just got it all, whenever she calls, I can’t help but fall.

(Rap)

(Chorus)
