Steamroller

There's no easy way to say this so I'll have to sing
That's the only way that I can make sure that you're listening
That's just what we're used to 'cause it's all we used to do
So why do I always have no words when I'm introducing you?

Well, it's too much to write out when the first thought knocks my lights out
And the second thought is just about enough to squash me flat
And in this nervous state I'm about to make an awkward turn of phrase
So I hope you'll understand when I tell you that

You're behind the wheel of a 6 ton steamroller
I often think about the times when we're together and how it'll be much better when we get older
All this open road and you just run me over
And I'm the one who's got the crush on you so why're you crushing me?

Sat across a table frrom you as if I had a plan
I'd play FTSE with you even though I'm not a businessman
I'd heavily invest in your stocks 'cause you're good company
And I can think of several reasons why you should go out with me

You've got this way with words that I admire and that infectious smile
And plus you're cute as hell, almost as cute as me or maybe more
And also we do similar things and stuff so I don't think we'd get that bored
So tell me what you're waiting for

You're behind the wheel of a 6 ton steamroller
I often think about the times when we're together and how it'll be much better when we get older
All this open road and you just run me over
And I'm the one who's got the crush on you so why're you crushing me?

It started out as a little flicker and then it just got a little bigger
Until it slowly slowly slowly worked its way of of control
You make me blush, you give me chills, did you push that snowball down the hill
Or is that just how you roll?

I've got some concept sketches of a mighty skyscraper
Nothing solid but I'd like to know sooner rather than later
'Cause on this building site I've been laying out foundations
Do you wnt to be the architect or is it just my imagination
Or are

You behind the wheel of a 6 ton steamroller?
Do you think about the times when we're together and how it'll be much better when we get older?
All this open road and you just run me over
And I'm the one who's got the crush on you so why're you crushing me?
Why're you crushing me?
