The New Boy

There's a new boy in my life
        At least in my eyes
        Cause he's off limits
      He has a girl and stays committed
            But I can't help wanting him 
              Everytime he walks into a room
                  Or smiles his secrets smiles
                     I know if I push hard enough 
                     He could be mines
                    The things is I am really  
                     Opening up a can of worms
                  Not just that I want him 
                     Not just that he has a girl 
                          But let's get more to the point
                             He's real close friends with my ex
                               How would it look going from one to the next?
                                 Two completely alike personalities
                                    Two similar minds and bodies
                                        Can I help that i'm attracted to 
                                            Tall dark and handsome
                                                Dark being my perfered prefrence 
                                                    Can I help that he makes me smile? 
                                                         Just as much as the one I lost? 
                                                              Can I help if he's almost a duplicate 
                                                                     Of the one I used to be with 
                                                                         The one I still care about daily?
                                                                      Would you call this rebounding? 
                                                                           Cause basically what i'd call it 
                                                                                 Is crazy...
