There's something within that I can't hold back
As I daydream in Jedi Council meetings in Coruscant
Padme, the Queen of Naboo, I fiend to have you
Can't you notice that?
From so many par-secs away, of course you can't..
You walked into my life on Tatooine ten years ago
And the first thing I asked you was, "Are you an angel?"
I was just a little slave boy; you called me "Annie"
And me ever leaving that planet was all a fantasy..
But look at me now; a Jedi-in-training
Trying to tell Obi-Wan I'm ready for the trials and tired of waiting
And look at you now; a senator, but still my queen
Fantasies of you fill my dreams and steal my sleep..
That hairstyle looks fly on ya
Makes me want to hyphenate your name with my lightsaber:
"Padme Amidala-Skywalker"
And as we wrestle playfully in your homeland
I hope you'll understand I'm no longer a boy
But a grown man..
If Master Yoda was here, he'd be talking that jazz
Like, "Hmmmm, fallen in love, young Skywalker has.."
And if Master Obi-Wan was here, I know what he'd say, too
"Be mindful of your thoughts, young Padawan, they betray you.."
But I'm sick of hearing "young Anakin" this and "young Padawan"
that
I think Obi-Wan is jealous and he's holding me back
Jedi aren't supposed to know love; only show compassion
But I'm asking, what's the difference between COMPASSION and
PASSION?..
You ask me to be rational knowing I can't do it
When my heart plays a rhythm, I can't help but dance to it
I try to show control, but unfortunately
You're in my very soul, tormenting me, torturing me..
So if you're feeling as I'm feeling, please let me know
Lonely has my heart in a vice grip; please let me go!
I know you feel these sparks flying
I'd rather my name be on your lips than in the Jedi Archives
DON'T LET MY HEART GO OVER TO THE DARK SIDE!!..
But in the end, formalities rule
For we're from different worlds
Tatooine and Naboo
And we can't mix the two
So instead of realizing my fantasy
I'll spend eternity crying internally
Sighing mechanically..
