The Closer You Get

Verse 1
I am beginning to realize that you have cast some kind of spell over me
Every single time you approach me I don't know what to do
I'm scared that I'll do something foolish

Bridge 1
It seems to me that you've been dropping hints
Only for me to stumble upon
At first I thought it was all in my head
And just your way of being friendly

Verse 2
I just don't know what to expect
You could be doing something without me knowing about it
You could really help me out by giving signals to me
Letting me know that you are about to come my way

Bridge 2
I know that I'm not overreacting
Your presence is becoming more and more stressful
I need to take a couple of steps back
If not, I will surely lose my cool

Verse 3
Is this an infatuation that you have for me
Or is this the real deal?
From now on I will keep my guard up
So I can remain focused on all my surroundings

Bridge 3
I always feel the need to pull away
Whenever you give your hand for me to shake
I sense that you know something is wrong
I just can't handle the fact that you've interested in me

Chorus
The closer you get, my heart beats faster
And my palms begin to sweat
The closer you get, my mind starts to spin
And when we speak, my words are slurred
