[English]

I turned up with my cap on back to front

Trying to be someone I saw on TV once

You were sitting by the window looking out for me

We were trying to find a way to say 'Hi'

That didn't seem strange but it didn't work out

Maybe that was just the way that it felt to me

It's taken me so long

Maybe I'm just too shy to say it

We could be more than friends

But maybe I'm just too shy, too shy

Walking home down the Uxbridge Road

Headphones on I got a cigarette rolled

I know

I shouldn't light it cause I haven't smoked one for weeks

Conversations running through my head

'Til I get stuck on one thing you should not have said but you said

And now it's all that I can think about

It's taken me so long

Maybe I'm just too shy to say it

We could be more than friends

But maybe I'm just too shy, too shy

Let's go find a corner we can sit in

And talk about that film instead of us

Even though throughout it I was thinking

I was gonna say I love you afterwards

It's taken me so long

Maybe I'm just too shy to say it

We could be more than friends

But maybe I'm just too shy, too shy

It's taken me so long (It's taken me so long)

Maybe I'm just too shy to say it

We could be more than friends (Maybe I'm too shy)

Maybe I'm just too shy (Maybe I'm, maybe I'm), too shy

It's taken me so long (it's taken me so long)

Maybe I'm just too shy, too shy

We could be more than friends (too shy)

Maybe I'm just too shy (Maybe I'm, maybe I'm), too shy
