My fear of rejection could stop evolutionary processes

I never used to think about that but now every time

You look at me

I cannot breathe

I'm supposed to be hardwired through my bones so I can find a mate

But then you turn and smile and I don't have the guts

To ask you on a date

So I'll make you wait

But god, I wish that I could change

I wish that I could ask to hold your hand

I wish that I could sing to you, and you would understand

I wish that all my fears would just resolve

I wish that I could kiss you and the world would just dissolve

I wish I could evolve

If Darwin ever met me

He would self destruct from primal, untapped rage

Cause nothing that I do around you matches any creature

'Bout my age

My hearts on a stage

I don't know how you broke the coding

Written for like several million years

Or maybe I am just mutated and I'm separated from my peers

Will this end in tears

Oh god, I wish that I could change

I wish that I could ask to hold your hand

I wish that I could sing to you, and you would understand

I wish that all my fears would just resolve

I wish that I could kiss you and the world would just dissolve

I wish I could evolve

I thought that I would feel the urge

To give you my whole mind

But now my heart has gone to purge

The thoughts that are designed

To force me to tell you I'm feeling

That I want you mine

Oh you have gone and forced me to resign

I wish that I could ask to hold your hand

I wish that I could sing to you, and you would understand

I wish that all my fears would just resolve

I wish that I could kiss you and the world would just dissolve

I wish I could evolve

I wish I could evolve

I wish I could evolve
