Are you looking for a blues of a man getting by
It's still a little early but I'll try to comply
If you'd ask me for my story I'd make no sound
A wrong beginning with no end, or the other way 'round

She comes around the corner when I least expect
My feet nailed to the ground I can't react
This ain't the stuff dreams are made of
It's haunting me at night it's so hard

CHORUS:
But I'm still breathing
Though I can't believe it
I am still alive
(Still breathing)
One would think by now
I'm too old to be shy

I made my choice and took the plunge for good or bad
It could've been the best time that I ever had
I stepped right up to her but no words came out
It's killing me but I can't do without

Repeat CHORUS

One of these days will see me coming out
Another time, another chance, no doubt
But just right now that's more than I can take
I'm sure she's waiting for the next move I'll make

Repeat CHORUS
