"Understand" By Mel. C

I'm looking at the floor
I'm looking anywhere to try to put my head into
A different place
I'm stopping it before
Before I think about the promise to myself that
I'm about to break
Fall into daydreams inside these walls
I must be out of my mind

Cause I don't even know you
But all I do is think about your face
And I don't wanna call you
But I wish I had your number just in case
And I never thought someone could shake me like
You can
Some things weren't designed to understand

I hope you didn't see
I hope you didn't notice if you did I hope you
Looked away
I'll keep it all to me
I'll keep on running cause it's only when I'm running that I feel safe
As I fall I must be out of my mind

Cause I don't even know you...

TV shows and cars that won't slow down
I should be looking for a chance but don't know how
Disillusion never let me down
Don't lose it now, don't lose it

I don't even know you...

Until this summer, i thought i would never understand these lyrics.
i recently went to a Camp, and my eyes fell on the most stunning guy i have ever seen. As the weekend went on, i found our that it was more that just his incredible looks that i found attractive. His personality was shy, but out-going at the same time. He shared the same religion as me! Not something you find in alot of guys like this. He was active, great body, polite, incredibly nice, and all around a great guy.

The chorus really struck a chord in this particular instance.
-I don't even know you- I've only known him for a weekend.
-But all i do is think about your face- It was like my eyes weren't connected to my body. they just kept drifting toward him. I mean, I had a fcuking DREAM about him for god sakes!
-And I don't wanna call you
But I wish I had your number just in case- I would be way to shy to actually go up there and introduce myself and ask for his number (especially since he was a couple years older than me) and yet, I do wish i could really call him and get to know him! Or i wish he had face book at least!
-And I never thought someone could shake me like
You can- I never imagined i would feel this way about i guy i don't even know. I mean, We didn't even talk. I think he offered me a star burst out of politeness and that was our only contact.

I guess its true; Some things weren't designed to understand
