She standing underneath the stars,
the constellation complimenting her,
he pretty sure nothing more beautiful’s been noticed in his retina,
she touch her hair, I don’t know why,
I guess it gives her something she can do,
(yeah) he starts to stare, he looks away,
he look again, it’s like it’s peekaboo,
she turn away, she kinda shy
and doesn’t quite know what to say to him,
(hmm), he try to be the man and play it cool,
but yo’ it’s like he’s caving in,
she takes a breath,
maybe some oxygen will stop these palpitations huh?
he tells himself even if she is playing tough,
he gone stay brave enough.
Chorus
And now I’m looking at you standing there,
I’m kinda feelin’ you from afar,
I wanna move a little closer boy,
so you can tell me who you are,
and now I’m looking at you standing there,
I’m kinda feelin’ you from afar,
I wanna move a little closer girl,
so you can tell me who you are.
Verse Two
He wanna speak, but at the risk of sounding stupid,
he just thinks some more, (uh-huh)
and now she pondering and wondering on why he hesitating for?
(yeah), he reminiscing back to something similar, he having déjà vu
and so she jammin’ like she playing the Bob Marley and the Wailers tune,
he check his watch to see the time,
I guess the nervousness is kicking in,
(uh), she got her headphones in her hand
and now she’s contemplating listening,
(yeah), now he’s counting down from ten
and by the time he gets to five,
(huh), she start to get herself together,
cos her bus has just arrived.
