around you

Just wanted to write more mush, and there's a whole potato sack inside me.

I like being around you
Is that okay?
You could stand by a door
But you wouldn't be in the way
Because there's just not enough time
For me to say what i want to say
I guess it is pretty funny
That I can be serious,
But you turn me into a puppy

I'm just always excited
For just a few minutes to talk to you
I'm excited to be excited
And afraid to be afraid
I also worry I'll say something stupid
Or lose track of time
And get carried away
I may need anvils on my ankles
So I don't float to the sky
And cold water on my face
So I can believe my eyes

So what're you doing later?
D'ya have any plans?
Is there a chance we could get together
And have a glass or a can?
I don't actually care for booze;
I just want to sit down to talk to you
And I need an excuse

Whether that's lunch,
A ride, or a walk
It almost doesn't matter
As long as we can talk
I like the cut of your jib
And I think you're just swell
I still get nervous when you speak
Any chance you could tell?

I don't know how you do it
Or why your vibe's so great
I just know you make me smile
So it's a little hard to wait
That long of a while
And a while's just a day
