Helpless

I’m hiding in the backseat of this Cadillac

Hoping you won’t see my face as you cross the street

The lights are red, my blush is too

God knows what I would say if I had the courage to speak to you

The wheels won’t move, but my heart beats

If I switch on the headlights, would we meet again

Like we did before in the department store?

Five thousand excuses to just sit here with my fear

But I still watch you with eyes full of love

And I still give you just as much as ever

I’m helpless

I guess I’m one of those things that goes unnoticed

Like a daisy in a glamorous field of fragrant tulips

Would I catch your eye just one time?

To have you look my way would leave me speechless all day

Maybe time’s not on my side or maybe it’s esteem

You’re my cloud 9, but my ability to confess is far below

Do I deserve what I don’t have the nerve for?

I would park my life in your heart if only I could start the car

But I still watch you with eyes full of love

And I still give you just as much as ever

I’m helpless

Everything’s moving fast and I’m waiting by the tracks

While you board the train of your destiny

The door’s unlocked but I can’t move

Damn it all, let me get to you

But there you go again away from me

But I still watch you with eyes full of love

And I still give you just as much as ever

 Still I watch you with eyes full of love

And still I give you just as much as ever

I’m helpless

I’m helpless

Helplessly in love with you

I’m helpless

I’m helpless

Too helpless to know what to do
