“would you give blood
for someone, even if your greatest
fear
is a needle? This song explores that possibility, while
dealing
with the nervous feeling that comes with waiting in
the
doctor’s chair, the way your fingers lock up (like when
you
play a song on the guitar for a special someone), and
reaching
out for the hand of that someone you are comfortable
with
when the needle enters your vein. In the end, you feel
like a man, even if it’s the woman who got you through it.”
If you wonder why I’m shy
It’s cause I’m not so
used
To being close to someone so
Beautiful as you
And every time I jumble words
It’s only cause I’m
scared
Of talking with someone so smart
When I’m so unprepared
I pray to God you turn around
Before I trip and hit the ground
If you ever wondered why
I shiver when you’re near
It’s
cause you take my breath away
And seal me up with fear
And if my fingers lock in place
Don’t think that something’s wrong
I just want to do anything
But play my stupid songs
It’s not the person that you are
It’s cause I need a shootingstar
It’s cause I’m
nothing without you
It’s cause you’re
something to me
It’s cause I’m better
without you
Cause you’re my reason to bleed
I’ve always been so scared of shots
And needles in my arm
But being here with you is bliss
Although it does me harm
And bloodshed never wasn’t
worth
The pain that I’ve endured
Cause feeling so uncomfortable
Has made me ‘come matured
And when I close my eyes at night
And melt onto the floor
You scoop me up inside your arms
To make me comfortable
Of all the shootingstars
I’ve seen
There wasn’t one I knew
Or fell so deep for anyone
As much as I for you
It’s cause I’m
nothing without you
It’s cause you’re something
to me
It’s cause I’m better
without you
Cause you’re my reason to bleed
