Cover art for Shy lyrics by Ani DiFranco

This song is so fun. It explains how it feels to be completely infatuated with a person and not want to waste a second of time pursuing them. And lust can make you do crazy things and alter your logic (The heat is so great it plays tricks with the eye). I love the line (I put too much on the table now Ive got too much at stake) I do that all the time! I reveal my feelings to get them out and wish to take them back. Where I come from and where I'm going is lost in between that breakup stage and finding a new relationship. And the closing line "veiled invitation on your machine" is just a perfect description for this whole situation.
