Kinetics & One Love - Sign Language lyrics
rate me[Hook: Wynter Gordon]I wanna show you that I careBut I don't have the nerveI wanna say I love youBut I can't find the wordsI wish that you could know how IReally felt all of this timeBut no matter what I doYou can't see the signs[Verse 1: Kinetics]He was an average teen, he partied often and he sagged his jeansSat in the very back of the class so he could nap and dreamAnd fantasize about the girl he was obsessed withThe one who stole his heart and always kept itCause ever since the seventh gradeShe was always standin' in his center stageBut every time he tried to talk to her, she would just step awayAnd though she never spoke to him, it didn't matterCause Billy never liked the chit-chatterSo what if a little passive? To him she was attractiveHe could sense a massive personality perfectly by the way she actedPlus she wrote poems for the paper every monthIt was the lines on the page that had him fallin' in loveBut he never told his friends, they would say that he was crazySo no one ever found out that Billy liked AmyHe just gracefully endured, being blatantly ignoredBut sooner or later, Billy wouldn't take it anymore[Hook]I wanna show you that I careBut I don't have the nerveI wanna say I love youBut I can't find the wordsI wish that you could know how IReally felt all of this timeBut no matter what I doYou can't see the signs[Verse 2: Kinetics]He was an average teen, he partied often and he sagged his jeansSat in the very back of the class so he could nap and dreamAnd fantasize about the girl he was obsessed withThe one who stole his heart and always kept itSo he's takin' his chances, day after day of wasted advancesHe was always lonely without a date for the dances'Till he decided that he would try to do something boldHe would make his feelings known by reciting her a poemLike the poems she was publishing every month in the paperHe grabbed a pen and pad and then he laboredSat and he crafted it, and then he practiced it, had to have it immaculateBut half of it just ended up scribbled and trash basketed'Till he finally mastered it, and recited it perfectlyYo this was a life or death emergencyBut you can't be nervous, B, you could risk it allSo you need to stand tall, and approach her in the hall (deep breath)"Yo what up tuts? I'm at the entrance of your palaceAnd I think that I been starin' at aurora borealisYou shine so bright that you could light up the skyAnd Columbus with a compass would get lost in your eyes"But her reaction was absurdAll she did was stare back without sayin' a single wordAnd gave him a weird lookShe tried sayin' something with her hands but she couldn'tCause she was carryin' booksBut that was all that it took, Billy was too crushedHad to run away so nobody would see the tears rushAnd for the rest of the week, he locked himself in his apartmentCause he didn't have the strength to face the world so broken-heartedAfter seven days of darkness, got a letter in the mailBut before he even looked at it, he let that ship sailHe was too concerned with all the sadness in his lifeSo instead of a letter opener he grabbed a kitchen knife[Hook]I wanna show you that I careBut I don't have the nerveI wanna say I love youBut I can't find the wordsI wish that you could know how IReally felt all of this timeBut no matter what I doYou can't see the signs[Verse 3: Kinetics]She was far from your average teenThe quiet type who never had a sceneStudied often and wrote poems for the school magazineShe had a little secret and she always kept itThere was a boy that she was obsessed withSo when she wrote a poem for the school paper every monthEvery line on the page was dedicated to her crushBut she never told her friends, they would say that it was sillySo no one ever found out that Amy liked Billy'Till the day that Billy stopped her by her locker during schoolBut she couldn't understand him and responded like a foolAnd gave him a weird lookShe tried doin' sign language, but she couldn't cause she wasCarryin' all her booksSee, even though Amy was equally obsessedShe was too embarrassed to tell him that she was born deafAvoided him at school, but to make her love knownShe would leave him little signs through the lines of her poemsSo she sent one to his home, after seven days passedCause it seemed like Billy wasn't showin' up to classSo she's going home confused, trapped in the worst moodFlippin' on the TV to a tragic story on the newsIt was a picture of your average teen, all it said was this:"LOCAL TEEN SUICIDAL WITH A KNIFE TO HIS WRIST"At the scene where he died was a letter never readFrom a girl named Amy and it said[Hook]I wanna show you that I careBut I don't have the nerveI wanna say I love youBut I can't find the wordsI wish that you could know how IReally felt all of this timeBut no matter what I doYou can't see the signs[Outro: Kinetics]So if you have something to say to somebody, then do it now
