Say Hey

I honestly can't explain where this new form of creative energy is coming from. As I've said before, I'm not a poet, not even a songwriter. Yet I've drafted another one of these...

I've seen the way you look into her eyes
The moment she steps into the room
She's one of those lucky girls
'cause she gets all of you

I watch you walk away into the setting sun
Wishing you were holding my hand instead of hers
You look back and I smile, but all the while
I wonder...

Of all the things I want to say
Could you ever think of me that way?
'cause in your eyes I see the stars
You've lit this fire in my heart
I'm the flame and you're the spark
You've got me smiling when you're around
I'm wondering if you see it too
All these things I'd say to you
But instead, I just say hey

You walked me home in the pouring rain
Telling me the list of things you love about her
It's funny to think that could be me
Does she know she's your whole world?

What if I said you've captured my soul
And I just wanted you to know
I've said these same lines over and over
Still I'm left to wonder...

Of all the things I want to say
Could you ever think of me that way?
'cause in your eyes I see the stars
You've lit this fire in my heart
I'm the flame and you're the spark
You've got me smiling when you're around
I'm wondering if you see it too
All these things I'd say to you
But instead, I just say hey

All the things I hide from you
Everything I want to say
It's everything I wish you knew
But instead I just say hey

Of all the things I want to say
Could you ever think of me that way?
'cause in your eyes I see the stars
You've lit this fire in my heart
I'm the flame and you're the spark
You've got me smiling when you're around
I'm wondering if you see it too
All these things I'd say to you
But instead, I just say hey

So I watch you live out my dreams with someone else
Wishing I could tell you how I felt
Maybe someday
So until then, I'll just say hey...
