Why did I do it?
What did it get me?
Scrapbooks filled with me in the background
Give 'em love and what does it get ya?
What does it get ya?
One quick look as each of them leaves you

All your life and what does it get ya?
Thanks a lot and out with the garbage
They take bows and you're batting zero

I had a dream
I dreamed it for you, June
It wasn't for me, Herbie

And if it wasn't for me
Then where would you be
Miss Gypsy Rose Lee?

Well someone tell me when is it my turn?
Don't I get a dream for myself?
Starting now it's gonna be my turn!
Gangway, world, get off of my runway!
Starting now I bat a thousand
This time, boys, I'm taking the bows and

Everything's coming up Rose!
Everything's coming up roses!
Everything's coming up Rose
This time for me!
For me! For me! For me! For me! For me!
... For me!

Teddy Geiger - "For You I Will"

This song just came up on a playlist in iTunes, and I immediately smiled. It reminded me of the last time I saw YOU; how I told you about how I had planned to sing it to you in order to tell you how I feel; how I sang part of it for you, and mostly, how you kissed me afterwards. It was a fairytale moment that I never wanted to end. You had all these emotions in your eyes, and I couldn't even begin to decipher half of them.

Now there's so many things I want to tell you. How I've come to like you so much more than I had first intended. How I fear that you don't feel even half of what I do. Mostly I'm just plain scared that I'm heading headfirst into a serious broken heart.

We agreed to take it slow, I know that. But part of me doesn't want to take it slow anymore. I want to be able to take your hand without having to gather up the courage first or be drunk. I want to be able to kiss you whenever I want. I want to tell you how I feel without having to fear rejection.
But for now, I'll just listen to that song and revel in the memories, because really, that's what I do best.

I'm wandering the streets
In a world underneath it all
But nothing seems to be
Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're
Twisting your hair around your finger
But tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you

Oh, I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cos I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a waterbed
Do I seem familiar?
I've crossed you in hallways a thousand times
No more camouflage, I wanna be exposed
And not be afraid to fall

Oh, I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'll muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

If I could dim the lights in the mall and create a mood
I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room
I would
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
To get through to you, yeah

I'll muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
