A four letter word meant just for you:
I wonder if it has gotten a hold of you too?
My throat's a bit scratchy, and I'm a bit scared
(But when I was with you, I knew that you cared).

(Starting something new is quite the task.)
Will my parents approve; am I acting too brash?
Are you gonna say yes, or will say no?
I'm going crazy, and I really wanna know.

Walking up to you at the dance,
Could be fine if I never take the chance,
But those eyes tell me I'm not too late,
Guess you just can't just outrun your fate...

So the question left my mouth,
(And I'd thought it'd gone south,)
But you hesitantly replied,
"Yes...", so I opened up my stride:

I ran away from the dance
(To get myself out of the trance).
'Cause my parents already disapprove,
But hey! 'least I finally made a move.
