As the crowd thins out and the music fades I look across the room through a haze of smoke And i see you there. And all i want is to make an approach but the fear starts tensing up my throat And my legs are useless Prechorus: And i think, can i take this all in stride? opinions coming from all sides And i don't know if i can take this doubt Give me the green light and i'll be gone from here tonight Chorus: It's hard to take it slow when you're not moving at all And i think i'm about to fall This indecisiveness is tearing me apart If it's all means to an end, where do i start? And i wish you would take notice, the fact i even wrote this Should say to you that i haven't given up just yet I try so hard but you don't seem to care You just don't care You just don't care Prechorus: can i take this all in stride? opinions coming from all sides And i don't know if i can take this doubt Give me the green light and i'll be gone Chorus Bridge: Can i take this all in stride? opinions coming from all sides And i don't know if i can take this doubt, oh no Give me the green light and i'll be gone from here tonight I guess it's move stop wait from here on out Chorus
