Another shot of courage in a whiskey glass.
I'm frozen with desire every time you walk past.
Distant admiration just won't get me near.
God knows I've tried so hard to shake away all my fears.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.

Even when you smiled at me across the room,
That chance at conversation I let go like a fool.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.

I once had a dream I shed my skin, I turned into some superman and things were fine.
Because you were simply mine.
But dreams don't last.
Got to face reality and make a move.
Living with this fantasy, I know it's no use.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
I wish I had the courage just to say hello, to say hello to you.
To say hello, to say hello, to say hello, to say hello to you, to you. (repeat to fade)
