Shiver

So I looked in your direction,
But you paid me no attention, do you.
I know you don't listen to me,
'cause you say you see straight me, don't you.

On and on from the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me,
I'll be waiting in line,
Just to see if you care.

Did she want me to change?
But I change for good.
And I want you to know.
But you always get your way,
I wanted to say,

Don't you Shiver?
Shiver, Shiver
I'll always be waiting for you,

So you know how much I need ya,
But you never even see me, do you?
And this is my final chance of getting you.

On and on from the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me,
I'll be waiting in line,
Just to see if you care.

Did she want me to change?
But I change for good.
And I want you to know.
But you always get your way,
I wanted to say,

Sing it loud and clear.
I'll always be waiting for you.

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you.
And it's you I see, but you don't see me.
And it's you I hear, so loud and clear.
I sing it loud and clear.
And I'll always be waiting for you.

So I look in your direction,
But you pay me no attention,
And you know how much I need you,
But you’ve never even seen me.

There is one person I think of with this song. And while it seems like a despairing song, it really isn't to me. I have no idea why. I suppose some of it is that the music is the opposite of the lyrics - upbeat, warm, wonderful, uplifting. The lyrics speak of wanting someone, but I love the part about from the moment I wake to the moment I sleep, I'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me. I love that. It is an amazing sentiment. I know what it is like to want that someone to see me, hear me, understand my feelings about him, but not have it. And yet, it is okay - there will always be someone that you want who doesn't see you. Attraction is a funny thing.

I sing it loud and clear...
