Lyrics

I'll probably be a waste of your time, but who knows? Chances are I'll step out of line, but who knows? Lately, you've set up in my mind Yeah, girl, you, and I like that Lately, I've been thinking that perhaps I am a coward Hiding in a disguise of an ever-giving flower Incompetent steward of all of that sweet, sweet power Yesterday was feeling so good, now it's gone I'd feel like that always if I could, is that wrong? Tell me 'bout the city you're from Is it hot? Does it snow there? Lately, I've been thinking 'bout my precarious future Will you be there with me by my side, my girl, my shooter? Who's to say who calculates? Not me, I'm no computer Is it a crime to be unsure? In time, we'll find if it's sustainable You're pure, you're kind, mature, divine You might be too good for me, unattainable Maybe we get married one day, but who knows? Think I'll take that thought to the grave, but who knows? I know that I'll love you always Yeah, girl, you, and I like that
