lyrics

Broad strokes, they can’t define her…but still I sit here in the corner of the room and I try. Wise words advise against her - but like a moth to the flame I move beside her and I wait. Why? Patience, it is a virtue - just ask the man who died while waiting for his dream to come true. Bravery, while it’s less so - every time he took a risk he just took one step closer. May I please sit next to you? Beautiful stranger across a crowded room.

All these eyes in the room - I get jealous when they follow you. Don't underestimate the labor of my luck. All the hands in the worlds - well they couldn't hold you. They couldn't hold you from me. May I please sit next to you? Beautiful stranger across a crowded room.

I am calling out her name, is this a dream or am I awake? Though I never say "I never" - I know I'll never see her again. So I can't explain it - and I can't tell you why. But I do know that fools are full of reasons and the wise men - well they never even try. So I call across a crowded room and risk tonight to dream alone.
