Shy
(Johan Bengtsson)
The boy sits in his room all day
Waiting for the girl to call
She doesn’t live very far away
Half an hour on the bus that’s all
They haven’t spoken in two weeks time
And he’s afraid to pick up the phone
She looks out on the Winter’s pride
But can’t help that she’s feeling alone
How did it become like this?
The boy wakes up at 9 AM
And a change is about to occur
He picks up the phone and throws it back again
His fantasies and memories stir
He dials her number with shaking hands
And waits for an answer to come
She’s outside her house, but on demand
She answers and decides and he’s gone
He’s on the bus, his body shaking
Will he find the right place to get off?
She decides it’s time to go and meet him
It’s to late to call it all off
They meet at the bus stop at a quarter past one
Knowing it might be the start
There is a feeling that the time has come
But will they make it before they part?
The boy’s to shy to talk about love
With someone who he so much adore
She realizes there’s something he hides
So she tries to push him some more
“Tell the truth” she says so softly
And his wall is beginning to fall
“The feeling is love” he whispers slowly
And then, the best part of it all…
