Explain it

Love is only a word
It's not a feeling
I've repeated that in my head
Til the words lost all meaning
I'm so shallow
And it's so deep
I don't see how I could possibly be

Then explain to me
Why everytime I see you my heart skips a beat
Explain to me
Why everytime we're close I can hardly breathe
Explain to me
If it's not love then what could this strange feeling be?
If it's not love then what's happening to me?

The word is etched
In the back of both eyelids
So when I sleep
I cannot escape this
It's the same story all around the world
Girl meets boy and boy meets girl
Then something changes and she's unsure why
It causes her to lay awake at night
Time has me confused
Is it possible that I am in love this soon?

Explain to me
Why everytime I see you my heart skips a beat
Explain to me
Why everytime we're close I can hardly breathe
Explain to me
If it's not love then what could this strange feeling be?
If it's not love then what's happening to me?

I pause again
Because staring out at the pouring rain
I've become lost in a daydream
One where you sweep me off my feet
Call me romantic, I may be in a daze
But never in this mystical haze
Do the words 'I love you' escape your lips
Why can't I imagine
A world with those words in?
Kiss me, quickly
The image is fading

Explain to me
Why everytime I see you my heart skips a beat
Explain to me
Why everytime we're close I can hardly breathe
Explain to me
If it's not love then what could this strange feeling be?
If it's not love then what's happening to me?

In my dreams when I close my eyes
It's you I lay beside
The feeling's so new I just can't describe
Wandering hands and lustful minds
Exploring new depths and challenging heights
It's just something I can't explain
It CAN'T be love that makes me feel this way

Then explain to me
Why everytime I see you my heart skips a beat
Explain to me
Why everytime we're close I can hardly breathe
Explain to me
If it's not love then what could this strange feeling be?
If it's not love then what's happening to me?

Can you?
Can you explain to me
Why everytime I see you my heart skips a beat?
Can you explain to me
Why everytime we're close I can hardly breathe?
Explain it
If it's not love
Explain it
What could it possibly be?
Explain if it's not love then what's happening to me?
