Status: Unreleased

How I wish that I could come to talk to you
If only I knew what to say
And Im not ashamed to tell ya Ive been stumbling around
tryin to think of something more profound than cliché

So maybe Ill concede
That youre out  just out  of my reach
But on second glance, its worth a chance
But Im holding back to make my advance

Tell me, what am I you waiting for
Cause youre the girl Ive been aching for
Maybe you could love someone like me
But perfect as you seem to be
I still believe youre OUT OF MY LEAGUE

Now I dont know if I should run in this race
Or turn around and save faceand just go home
Wonder if you see that Imat a fork in this road
Searching for a sign to show me which way to go

Maybe its time to concede
That youre out  just out  of my reach
But theres no reason why I shouldnt try
Got nothing to lose but my pride

Tell me, what am I you waiting for
Cause youre the girl Ive been aching for
Maybe you could love someone like me
But perfect as you seem to be
I still believe youre OUT OF MY LEAGUE

Then you looked over and you grinned
And I threw caution to the wind
Cause I was on the borderline
All I needed was a sign

Tell me, what am I you waiting for
Cause youre the girl Ive been aching for
You say you could love someone like me
And perfect as we just might be
I dont believe youre OUT OF MY LEAGUE
