When I'm Close To You

Rewritten version of a song I wrote (tried) a few years ago.

I had that dream again last night
It always seems so real
You found out what all this time
I'd been trying to conceal
You looked at me in disbelief
Like you just learned the truth
My heart beats like a nervous thief
When I'm close to you

Funny how my mind goes blank
Every time you smile
Good thing that intelligence
Is going out of style
Can't say why I lose my nerve
But I always do
It happens to me every time
When I'm close to you

I don't think I can ever hope for
The thing I've become such a dope for
I know I'm not really in your league
I can only pray you disagree

Just take a look at me right now
Acting like a fool
It happens to me every time
I know it's crazy but it's true
When I'm close to you
