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 for 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

To say hello to you, to say hello to you
To say hello to you, 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 you, to you
To say hello, to say hello
To say hello to you, to you

To say hello, to say hello
To say hello to you, to you
To say hello, to say hello
To say hello to you, to you

To say hello, to say hello
To say hello to you, to you
To say hello, to say hello
To say hello to you, to you
