you brush past me in the hallway
and you don't think I, I, I can see ya, do ya?

Henry is walking and he sees Alex. Alex is looking anywhere but at Henry, and Henry tries not to let it sting. After all, they hate each other, don't they? He uses all his willpower to not turn around and watch Alex walk away.

i've been watching you for ages
and I spend my time trying not to feel it

Henry stares at Alex from afar. He wants so badly to run up to him and steal him away, but he can't. Alex hates him. And besides, who would ever accept their relationship? He's the prince of Wales for Christ's sake, he can't go around kissing boys. Much less the son of the American president. He just can't.

but what would you do if I went to touch you now?

Henry couldn't help himself, he really couldn't. Alex was right there, and he was looking so goddamn handsome, that he just had to. He kissed him. He kissed Alex under the tree at his New Year's party. And Alex had kissed back. But no, he was drunk. There's no way he truly meant it.

what would you do if they never found us out?

There they were, making out in the Red Room. No one could ever find out. If they did, both of their lives would be ruined.

what would you do if we never made a sound?

They're kissing passionately now. There's no turning back. Neither of them would be able to recover if they weren't able to touch each other then. As Henry leaned down and started kissing Alex's neck, Alex let out a soft moan.

"Shhh," Henry shushed, "Quiet, or they'll hear us."

cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me

Henry rushed up to Alex's hotel room for another one of their secret rendezvous and saw Alex leaning against the doorframe. Goddamn, he looked extremely hot.

and i could see you up against the wall with me

Henry kissed Alex hungrily, and Alex responded by shoving him against the wall. They made out passionately until they couldn't take it anymore.

and what would you do? baby if only you knew
that i can see you

They started taking each other's clothes off, one by one. Henry admiring Alex' body, and vise versa. Henry could see Alex in a way that no one else could.

and we kept everything professional
but something's changed, and it's somethin' I, I like

They kept meeting at social gatherings, whether it's a polo match or a dinner event. Either way, they kept their hands to themselves, but there was a heat between them that made them unable to keep away from each other afterwards.

they keep watchful eyes on us
so it's best we move fast and keep quiet

The paps are absolutely horrible. Henry and Alex sneak around to ensure that they don't get caught. They try their best to make sure that neither of their lives gets ruined due to their pursuits.

you won't believe half the things i see inside my head

Henry often daydreams of Alex. Daydreams of new scenarios, new things they could try, or just plain Alex and his amazing self. He's so glad that telepathy isn't a thing, otherwise...
