Mesmerized

It's so hard to explain the simplest things
when you're around
usually I'm pretty clear but with you
the words get fumbled and twisted and sound
like I've lost my mind...

Oh, I want to tell you, want to let you in
on my deepest secret...
There's not enough heartbeats in my life
never enough stars in the sky
too little grains of sand on the beaches
to account for the love that I have for you
not enough drops in the ocean
never enough blue in my eyes
if you ever knew, if you ever knew
it might turn out alright...
but around you I just get mesmerized.

Hours and days go by and I'm awake
wishing on dreams
normally I've got a plan but tonight
my thoughts are racing and raging, it seems
like I'm out of time...

Oh, I want to tell you, want to let you in
on my deepest secret...
There's not enough heartbeats in my life
never enough stars in the sky
too little grains of sand on the beaches
to account for the love that I have for you
not enough drops in the ocean
never enough blue in my eyes
if you ever knew, if you ever knew
it might turn out alright...
but around you i just get mesmerized.

I wish there would be a moment I finally get the nerve
I'd come right out and say it, but I don't have the courage,
to put my hopes out on a bridge knowing it might burn!
that's a lesson I've already learned...
though I know this is different I just can't seem to let myself take a chance that I have earned...
but around you, like never before, I'm mesmerized...
