lyrics

I always wonder everyday
What it's like to be by your side
I can't seem to find the nerve
And believe me, I've tried
Somehow words came out wrong
Til they didn't come out at all
Now every time I walk your way, I see
The prettiest girl of all

And it feels like
I'm stuck on a merry-go-round
That I'm not
The only guy for you around

Because the differences between us
Shouldn't separate us far
That if you looked at me
We could love who we are
That I'm over exaggerating these doubts
And you're not so out of my league
That someone like you
Could possibly be with me

You have got everything
You've got beauty, brains, and more
The biggest smile I've ever seen
What is possibly not to adore?
Now I'm no prince charming
And I can't sweep you off your feet
Those other guys from the Disney movies
Had it easier than me

And it feels like
I'm stuck on a merry-go-round
That I'm not
The only guy for you around

Because the differences between us
Shouldn't separate us far
That if you looked at me
We could love who we are
That I'm over exaggerating these doubts
And you're not so out of my league
That someone like you
Could possibly be with me

And be my
Princess to this story now
And we'll work
A happily ever ending out
And I'll try to make you
The happiest girl around
And people will stop and stare
But we'll have it figured out

Because the differences between us
Shouldn't separate us far
That if you looked at me
We could love who we are
That I'm over exaggerating these doubts
And you're not so out of my league
That someone like you
Could possibly be with me
