Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got taken in
We feasted on olives from the fridge
We stood the whole lonely day
We made love all afternoon
Til the stars went blue
[Verse 2]
You wrote a ballad
We dined on oysters and champagne
That's it seemed like
We connect in so many ways
So easy, I must say
[Verse 3]
Why am I so shy around you?
Why am I so shy?
Why do I take care to astound you?
Why do I even try?
[Verse 4]
Another rainy day
We sat inside by the radiator
Watching old black and white films
Where everybody sang
[Verse 5]
You played in my solitude
Didn't get dressed 'til 2
The rain says all
I wrote this song on my guitar
But it didn't turn out right
So we just connected in other ways
So easy, I must say
[Verse 6]
Why am I so shy around you?
Why am I so shy?
Why do I take care to astound you?
Why do I even try?
[Verse 7]
Why am I so shy around?
Why am I so shy?
Why do I take care?
Why do I even try?
