hands touch
eyes meet
sudden silence
sudden heat
hearts leap in a giddy whirl

he could be that boy
but i'm not that girl

dont dream too far
don't lose sight of who you are
don't remember that rush of joy

he could be that boy
i'm not that girl

every so often we long to steal
to the land of what might've been
but that doesn't soften the ache we feel
when reality sets back in

light smile, light limb
she wins some, she wins him
gold hair with a gentle curl
that's the girl he chose
and heaven knows
i'm not that girl

don't wish
don't start
wishing only wounds the heart
i wasn't born for the rose and pearl
there's a girl i know
he loves her so

i'm not that girl
