Joey Small - Unapproachable Lyrics

I think that went fine
I messed up that one time
I hope that's forgiven

To be on the cast I'll see
So at the end of the week
I saw my name on that sheet

And I'm the lead

I know I'm not who you expected
I'm young and inexperienced
But maybe I'll surprise
But you're so perfect, blue eyes, blonde hair
Good grades, nice house with people who love you there
So why would you care about me?

But we're gunna be together these next few months
You're gunna be my first kiss
I know it doesn't mean much
But I'll still hold a picture of you in my mind
For all time
And I think that we should become good friends
But you're the one with leverage
So I'll wait for you to make the first move
Quiet and bashful
Why are you so unapproachable

I look forward to working with you
Even though they say you don't deserve the part
If only they would pay me so much attention
Instead of treating me like some work of art

And that's just the start

All my friends just like me out of ignorance
But i think that some knowledge could serve us well
So let me know if you want to meet outside
Not to break my heart but rather to break my shell

Just because all of my friends think that they're the best
It doesn't mean I don't just want to be like all the rest
Being popular, it has a stigma too
Oh it's you
You're the one, you're the one who's gotta bridge the gap
'Cause you're the one with leverage, so please ask
I'm just shy, but of substance I promise I'm full
Why am I so unapproachable

I feel inferior like you won't accept any of my compliments
I feel like I am being shamed for all of my accomplishments

I'll open up on the day when you approach me

I don't think it's that difficult
For you to take initiative, it's not my fault
I have too many of my own problems to fix
You have it all, so it's your job to take the risk

And I know that's probably unrealistic
I have untouchable blood
Oh, I'd risk it all and I'd strip bare
But I don't want to put myself out there

Where you are, oh it's such a scary place
You walk so confident, I can't even look at my face
I promise that I won't act awkward when we stage kiss
No you're the one, no you're the one, no you're the one with the f*cking leverage

And part of my knows you feel the same way
But no, I'm full of it, I'm full of it
I'm sick of it, feeling so many emotions that you can't see

I promise that I'll be receptive when you approach me

I know you have your issues
But so do I
No one tries to talk to me
And I'm just way too shy

If it's true and you've got nothing to lose
Then it's your job to take the risk
This might sound strange
But I don't think I'll ever forget that first time we kissed

It's not that I have problems that are much too strong
But if I did, I wouldn't last long
And you're the one with leverage
So let me know if you would notice if I was never born

If you asked me if I wanted to be friends I'd say
I do, I do, but only if you want to
I wish I could approach you, I wish that I could make you see

Why won't you just talk to me?
