When He Sees Me - Sara Bareilles
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what
I don't like guessing games
or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
if I'm just tossed around by fate
Like on an unexpected date
With a stranger who might
Talk too fast
Or ask me questions about
myself before I've decided that
He can ask me questions
about myself
He might sit too close or
call the waiter by his first name
Or eat Oreos
But eat the cookie before
the cream but what scares
me the most
What scares me the most
Is what if when he sees me
What if he doesn't like it
What if he runs the other
way and I can't hide from it
What happens then if
When he knows me
He's only disappointed
What if I give myself
away to only get it given back
I couldn't live with that
So I'm just fine inside
my shell shaped mind
This way I get the best view
So when he sees me
I want him to
I'm not defensive
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating why
A certain suitor stands
in line I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
when it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
He could be criminal
Some sort of psychopath
who escaped from an
Institution somewhere where
they don't have girls
He could have masterminded
some way to find me
He could be color blind
How untrustworthy is that
He could be less than kind
Or even worse he could be
very nice have lovely eyes
And make me laugh
Come out of hiding
What do I do with that
Oh god
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it
What if he opens up a door
and I can't close it
What happens then
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when he sees me
wants to again
