Annemarie I met you at a house show in IV Your chocolate skin and bubbly smile made me notice you And your style so effortless and chic Every day I see you longboard out from Sabado Head out to work making that espresso Trying to support those college dreams I've only seen you from a distance And our friends say you're awesome to be around But if I wasn't so damn timid I'd have asked you by now But Annemarie Forgive the shyness, it's a part of me I'd rather know you better than stay in the background Wishing for you to notice me I could see Us in the afternoon at Hendry's beach Learn 'bout each other as we stroll past all the mansions And keep the tar off of our feet Or maybe Set up a picnic by the mission hill It doesn't matter to me, long as we can still Enjoy each other's company I'm up for whatever, just saying If it means I had the chance to take you out But if I wasn't so damn self-conscious It would've happened by now But Annemarie Forgive the shyness, it's a part of me I'd rather know you better than stay in the background Wishing for you to notice me I hate getting curbed by my emotions But I can't leave these feelings up in the air So if you don't mind me being this straightforward I'll just ask you right here Oh Annemarie Forgive the shyness, it's a part of me I'd rather know you better than stay in the background Wishing for you to notice me I just want you to notice me I just want you to notice me I just want you to notice me I just want you to notice me
