lyrics

Hey you
The sky looks a little more blue
This thought on repeat is you
And I can't take my mind off this truth
It's the one thing that I haven't said
It's a fate that lies ahead
Easier to say alone in bed
Possible happiness that I dread
'cause it's all about reaction

I've never been so nervous in the world
It's just the sequence of these three small words
I've been delaying to

Say all night
Gotta say it tonight
Couldn't be much more perfect as perfect can be
You know because we'll run, run, run around the world
You know and then we'll stay awhile
'cause we'll run, run, run around the world
You know we might be late awhile
If its all right, it's all right

We watch the war
Don't pay attention I've seen it before
Bigger issues knock at the door
With nerves I've never felt before
Don't be afraid when you can cop out
The campaign slogan of my self-doubt
Decision's lost
Can't find a way out
Of my mind
I can't not think about it

The night's set me up
Would be so right to say
Circumstances can't be better
Yet I'm still afraid
My mouth opens for a second
Shut it quick
Beat by doubt
But you catch me in the act
And force it all to come out

So glad there's more than one of us into it
So glad my feelings found their reciprocate
