Eyes Shut

A boy loves a girl
But she doesn't know it
He’d give her the world
And he wants to show it

Her mind’s eye sees a cloud of dirt
In the space that he’ll be leaving
Falling for a girl in a hula skirt
She’s scared of believing
He could be for real
She thinks a little crushing
Is the limit of his deal

She’s a private person
She values her self-control
And she thinks she’s won
To stick with the friendship role
Until she knows that he is serious
Her shut eyes protect her heart
From what seems too precarious
