lyrics

a beach bar i snuck into
the sun setting in the west
a rum and coke and conversation
in your red and black sundress

if i stutter when i speak
darling, please will you forgive me
its been a rough couple of weeks
and now i'm so glad that you're with me

cause i can't make it on my own
i can't make you wanna love me
but i'm scared to be alone
can you blame a guy for trying?

if i trip on down your door step
if i can't find the words to say
darling, please will you bare with me
i think you'd brighten up my day

cause i can't make it on my own
i can't make you wanna love me
but i'm scared to be alone
can you blame a guy for trying?

cause i've been at this song for months
and can't think of a clever punch
but think the rhythm is alright
good enough for open mic
and maybe good enough for you
to think "i may just love him too"
and we can dance along to hip hop
and pretend that we know all the moves

i can't make it on my own
i can't make you wanna love me
but i'm scared to be alone
can you blame a guy for trying?
