about

a song about - being unsure, unwilling to take a risk, trying to pretend it's not a thing...but still.... can't keep from wondering...

lyrics

1
tried to dismiss it as just my imagination
it's led me down the wrong road too many times
put it down to proximity and initial fascination
but when you smile at me like that it does affect my mind

i've been wrong before
thought i was shown some open door
don't wanna play that fool again

but did ya give me some kinda green light. baby
i thought i'd seen a sign
but it could all be in my mind
hey did ya give me some kinda green light, baby
cause i can't make a move
if i ain't sure that's what you meant to do
2
so like me to create this kind of situation
raising the stakes until i got something to lose
maybe fence-riding is my true inclination
if i pretend there is no choice then i'll never have to choose

i'll just keep on wearing that
consolation prize of a good friend hat
a smarter man would just leave it where it's at

but did ya give me some kinda green light. baby
i thought i'd seen a sign
but it could all be in my mind
did ya give me some kinda green light, baby
cause i can't make a move
if i ain't sure that's what you meant to do
3
i've thought about it and i think i may have found some answers
thought it never does much good to pick things all apart
but there's a disparity here like a wallflower and a dancer
and if i can see the end so clear why would i even start

i can't play this game i must confess
a tendency to obsessiveness
just another jealous guy, i guess

but did ya give me some kinda green light. baby
i thought i'd seen a sign
it could all be in my mind
hey did ya give me some kinda green light, baby
cause i can't make a move
if i ain't sure that it's what you meant to do

4
cause i been taking my time
getting to know you
i hear the things you say
i watch the things you do
and now it's clear to see
there's some disparity
between we two
but still....
can't keep from wonderin'
can't keep from wonderin'
can't keep from wonderin'
