You know, it’s hard to
Keep thinking
Straight when you
Smile at me
That way—
Hard to remember
All the reasons
I know we could
Never be—
It’s hard to
Remember
Much of anything,
Even how
To breathe—
And there’s
Something in me
That you bring out
That I would
Love to feel
Again—
Like I’m flying
With my feet
On the ground,
Just because
You’re around—
And I can’t stop
Wondering
What it would
Feel like to
Finally have
Your hand in mine—
To finally know
That, all this time,
I’ve been making
You fly, too.

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving,
But I know I saw a light in you,
And as we walked we were talking.
I didn't say half the things I wanted to.

Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window,
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold.
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone.

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I want to kiss you in the rain.
So, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else.
Mmm, I can't help myself.

Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling,
So I've got some things to say to you.
I've seen it all, so I thought,
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do.

The way you talk, way you walk, way you say my name.
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same.

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I want to kiss you in the rain.
So, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else.
Mmm, I can't help myself.

They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me,
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine.

Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose.
Those other girls, well, they're beautiful,
But would they write a song for you?

I can't help it if you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I want to kiss you in the rain.
So, come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else.
Mmm, I can't help myself

If you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I want to kiss you in the rain.
So come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else.
Mmm, I can't help myself.---Taylor Swift, "Hey Stephen"
