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

[CHORUS:]
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannonball 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
'Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar
I crossed you in hallways a thousand times
No more camouflage, I want to be exposed
And not be afraid to fall

[Chorus:]

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

If I could only dim the lights in the mall
To create a mood, yeah, I would
And shout out your name
So it echoes in every room, yeah
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
To get through to you

[Chorus:]

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
