IT’S KILLER BEING NEXT TO YOU

© 2004 David Ian

Like a queen from a dream
You’re sitting next to me
You tilt your head and you give me a smile
My hands they start to shake
And my body’s a-quake
But being cool was never part of my style

My eyes get distracted
Did you tell me hello?
My head is turning in a dizzying spin
Pardon me baby
It’s not that you’re a maybe
It’s just so hard taking all of you in

And I try to act on what I feel
But this day has turned surreal
And the nights are black and white
Why does my mind put up a fight?

And while time is standing still
I should know by now the drill
To say something smooth to you
Make it sounding fresh and new

I’m bustin’ my heart
But my voice is silent
You’d think my mouth
Would know what next to do

I’m bustin’ my heart
But my voice is silent
And it’s killer
being next to you
It’s killer to be next to you

With the skies in your eyes
You got the pick of the guys
So baby what cha doin’ talkin’ to me?
I’m not exactly prime
Aren’t you wasting your time?
I don’t know what it is you possibly see

The way you walk and you talk
Such a heavenly shock
I look at you and the words go away
There’s a battle in my brain
And it drives me insane
A simple touch from you can shatter my day

And none of this seems right
As I’m out with you tonight
Am I here to just amuse?
Or only someone you can use?

And as you lean your head on me
My heart’s exploding to be free
To tell you everything I feel
To make my wildest dreams turn real

I’m bustin’ my heart
But my voice is silent
You’d think my mouth
Would know what next to do

I’m bustin’ my heart
But my voice is silent
And it’s killer
being next to you

Yeah, it’s killer to be next to you!
